The final topic for Construction Inclusion week is Community Engagement! Developing a comprehensive approach to community engagement through a DEI lens is beneficial to any organization. It helps ensure your employees feel a sense of belonging as they give back to their community and that you are inclusive in your community initiatives to ensure needs are met and populations are not discriminated against. As this week concludes, consider how you can give back to the community through a DEI lens. Are there any opportunities to volunteer and become an ally, be a mentor, or give in other ways? It might make a difference in someone’s life. #batsoncook #constructioninclusionweek #constructioninclusionweek2023 #communityengagement

For Construction Inclusion Week, today we examine the type of culture we wish to cultivate at Batson-Cook Construction. Our core values help formulate our culture; they are the guiding principles that lead decision-making at the company. They were created to communicate the type of company Batson-Cook aims to be for employees, trade partners, and clients. • We care about people and results. • We are passionate. • We always strive to do the right thing. • We do what we say we are going to do. • We build strong, lasting relationships. #batsoncook #constructioninclusionweek #constructioninclusionweek2023 #workplaceculture

Today, for Construction Inclusion Week, we examine Supplier Diversity: Some common classifications for minority-owned business enterprises (MBEs) are woman-owned business enterprises (WBEs), and small-business enterprises (SBEs). Businesses owned by other groups, such as LGBQT+, veterans, and persons with disabilities, may also be considered diverse businesses. Supplier Diversity means that we provide opportunities to these companies and cultivate a relationship with our respective prime contractor representative who manages the project – making sure to set up recurring meetings with him/her/them. This will help create a relationship that can be leveraged to address any issues and better understand supplier diversity reporting needs, expectations, and aid in being considered for the next contracting opportunity. #batsoncook #constructioninclusionweek #constructioninclusionweek2023 #supplierdiversity

Construction Inclusion Week continues today with Belonging: Batson-Cook’s goal is to be an organization where employees love to come to work as their authentic self. We show we care about people by nurturing a safe and supportive environment that respects and celebrates each other’s individuality and culture. This means that everyone is treated fairly, and they feel like they can thrive as full members of the larger community. This means we support one another and are allies for our coworkers. We actively support the rights of marginalized people and groups without being a member of those communities. #batsoncook #constructioninclusionweek #constructioninclusionweek2023 #belonging

Construction Inclusion Week kicks off today, and we will cover a topic related to this effort each day. Today, we discuss Commitment and Accountability: We must commit to cultivating a supportive and inclusive work culture with respect, empathy, and open communication where all team members feel valued, supported, and empowered to contribute their best. It takes courage to address negative influences and requires a concerted effort from leaders. However, to reach this level of engagement and responsibility, we must ensure our workplace is safe for open dialogue, risk-taking, and creative problem-solving. An inclusive environment allows individuals to commit wholeheartedly to their roles, knowing they are empowered to make decisions and own their outcomes without fear of unjust criticism or punitive backlash. #batsoncook #constructioninclusionweek #constructioninclusionweek2023 #accountability #commitment

At Batson-Cook Construction, safety is paramount. That is why we regularly conduct proactive safety stand-up meetings to reinforce our commitment to the health and safety of our employees and trade partners. While we hold these company-wide meetings on the same day, discussion topics were cultivated at the site-level to focus on what is most important to our staff and trade partners in their daily operations. In the past, some topics have included fall-related hazards, which included ladder safety and wearing and inspecting body harnesses, a mock fire drill, recognition for involvement in project safety, mental health in construction, reviewing evacuation and event action plans, and a fall rescue drill demonstration. A strong safety culture is the foundation of how we protect our Batson-Cook colleagues, clients, trade partners and communities in which we work. We believe that the more we talk about safety, the more we cultivate a robust and proactive safety culture where our people embrace ownership for the health and safety of themselves and those around them. #ExperiencetheBCDifference #batsoncook #hse #occupationalsafety
