🌟Exciting Insights from Today's Luncheon Today's luncheon with Dr. Brian Kaskie was truly eye-opening, exploring into the crucial topic of fostering an age-friendly workplace and understanding the unique needs of experienced workers. We discussed the significance of identifying organizational facilitators and barriers to adopting new age-inclusive policies. By understanding these factors, we can better navigate the path towards creating environments where experienced employees feel valued and supported. Additionally, we delved into the role of public policies in aiding employers' efforts to become age-friendly. It's essential to leverage both internal strategies and external resources to ensure that our workplaces are truly inclusive across all age groups. I'd like to express my gratitude to Staff Management, Inc. for providing me with the chance to participate, to Greater Rockford Chamber of Commerce & Thayer Energy Solutions for their efforts in organizing and sponsoring this event, and to Dr. Kaskie for delivering an insightful presentation on a topic of great significance. #AgeInclusion #RetentionStrategies #WorkplaceDynamics #OrganizationalCulture #InclusivityMatters

On Day 4 of Construction Inclusion Week, we’re focusing on Workplace Culture—the foundation of an inclusive, respectful, and safe environment for all. A positive culture not only ensures that everyone feel valued, but also boosts productivity, enhances safety, fosters psychological well-being, and leads to better outcomes for our clients. At Dome , we believe that when every worker feels respected and safe, both physically and psychologically, they can perform their best work. Creating this culture requires active participation from everyone. It’s about building workspaces free from bias and harassment, where all voices are heard, and everyone has a seat at the table. This is what our clients expect—teams that are truly collaborative, diverse, and inclusive, not just on paper but in practice. Simply put, workplace culture isn’t just something we talk about—it’s something we live every day. By caring for one another and fostering respect, we can create spaces where everyone thrives, both at work and beyond. #DomeIncludes #ConstructionInclusionWeek #CIW2024

On Day 4 of Construction Inclusion Week, the focus is on workplace culture. A positive, inclusive, and respectful workplace culture is essential for everyone to thrive. Not only does it lead to increased safety and productivity, but it also enables us to deliver higher value to our clients while allowing each and every worker to perform their best work. Establishing such a culture requires active care for each other, ensuring that everyone feels both physically and psychologically safe. Our worksites are like second homes, where we gather the emotions, attitudes, and behaviors that shape how we interact with our families and communities. We must create equitable workplaces that are free from bias and harassment, where everyone is treated with respect and given a seat at the table. Clients also value and expect diverse, respectful workplaces—not just on paper, but in practice. Fostering collaborative, inclusive teams ensures that everyone can deliver their best work and achieve success together. Today, Jerry Herold shares the importance of workplace culture and how we’re committed to fostering mutual respect and teamwork. Let’s continue building a culture where everyone feels valued and heard. #ConstructionInclusionWeek #WorkplaceCulture #InclusionMatters #Respect #Safety #Teamwork #AECOMHunt #BuildingTogether #CultureInConstruction

Inclusivity extends to benefits and policies. By offering diverse benefits and accommodating different needs, we show that our commitment to DEI goes beyond words, creating a workplace where everyone can thrive. #InclusivePolicies #EmployeeBenefits

Ever wondered about the hidden threads of inclusivity in our workspaces? In a moment of introspection, I turned my gaze inward, scrutinizing my own practices at the workplace. What surfaced were two key realizations: Our janitor and security guard were conspicuously absent from our annual reports. Recognizing their undeniable value in maintaining a clean and safe environment at our educational center, I decided to take corrective action—they got professional headshots and I’ve urged our Communications manager to include them in the 2023 annual report. As we gear up for a website revamp this year, they'll also have their well-deserved spotlight as members of the team. Acknowledging the significance of personal connections, I traditionally engage in one-on-one meetings with staff to understand their goals, welfare, and experiences at our company. Yet, I noticed lapses in extending this courtesy to the janitor and security guard. Making a mental note, I rectified this by including them in meaningful discussions last year. Additionally, they were integral participants in our team bonding social event, sharing in the joy of games and recreational activities. While recognizing potential limitations based on qualifications and experiences, I advocate for inclusivity in every feasible aspect of our shared experiences. Sometimes, breaking free from the status quo is the catalyst for genuine change. As we stand at the threshold of a new year, I encourage you to engage in introspection, challenge norms, and actively contribute to a more inclusive work culture. Together, let's make this year one where our workplaces truly reflect the diversity and value of each team member. #InclusiveWorkspaces #NewYearReflections #inclusionmatters #inclusiveleadership
