HOW DO YOU CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE PEOPLE THRIVE?

Our environment signals whether we are physically and psychologically safe, can share our thoughts, build a space to learn and ultimately build a career. The environment we create together at EllisDon can determine our culture and leadership potential of everyone around us.

HOW ELLISDON'S ENVIRONMENT CONTRIBUTES TO WHO WE ARE

EllisDon’s environment is not the job sites, or area offices, it is created by our people. The people at EllisDon are what makes EllisDon a great place to work and build a career. When you combine the right people with our EllisDon values, the result is a great environment. A company with a great environment has a recipe for fostering growth, ideas and opportunities, all of which results in providing great careers

FOSTERING ENGAGEMENT WITH YOUR TEAM

Know Your Team: Talk with your team often – get to know them and help them get to know you.
Connection and Relevance: Understanding WHY your work matters.
Measurement: Asking yourself, what does success look like? At EllisDon, engagement doesn't require formal authority; it's about understanding and valuing our work, recognizing success, and creating an environment that prioritizes engagement for all.

INCLUSIVE LEADERSHIP

We have the power to make a difference for others' environment every day. How we show up and make space for other voices and opinions will allow EllisDon to continue to grow into the company that puts your safety, both physical and psychological, first.

Why focus on Psychological Safety: Psychologically safe environments foster a culture where asking for help, voicing concerns, and innovating are encouraged, reinforcing EllisDon's core values and strengthening the pillars of psychological safety.

THE POWER YOU HAVE TO IMPACT THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND YOU

Our Environment is a Result of 2 Main Ideas:

1.We are all leaders at EllisDon 2.Great leaders, create leaders and then get out of their way

Remind yourself regularly that you are a leader. We all have moments of fear and hesitation, but in that moment, when you remind yourself that you are a leader, and you have this important responsibility, allow yourself to step forward into that fear, make that decision as a leader that you know is right in that moment. Your investment in your team is shaping an environment around you.

TRUST

We believe trusting each other in our work should be given freely. This practice allows our culture to flourish through all levels, gives everyone more autonomy over their careers, and encourages openness, accountability, and innovation. This important responsibility allows you to step forward into that fear and make that decision as a leader that you know is right in that moment.
