I want them to know that their voice matters and that We appreciate and recognize and want to recognize every comment and question. "

"Talk to all personnels irrespective of position. Listen and make people feel seen and included. Not many people do that, they love to be in their own favorite groups. Its very important to make new hires feel welcome. Not just the colleagues but the Management people also should talk to all not just a few people who they know. A welcoming smile or good morning/thank you goes a long way for people to feel appreciated and valued. Only pointing out mistakes and not appreciating efforts and things done good and on time may be detrimental to ones performance."

"Everyone from General Supt to a first day apprentice have different and unique experiences. Each brings its own value and insight into approaching how work is performed. No matter the tenure, age or any other factor every persons opinion adds value and insight when we talking about safety and construction in general. "

"First, you need to ask for others opinions. Many people have great ideas but don't say anything. Second, when someone offers an idea or opinion, be respectful in the response and create a culture that this is a safe (pun intended) place to speak. Third, take action and follow up. You can't take action on every idea but show that they were considered and this why we chose this option to move forward. "

"I demonstrate valuing every voice by making things personal. Taking the time to listen to someones story and make a point to let them know I've heard, understood, and will take action on something they may need. When someone feels valued individually it leaves a bigger impact on them and they are more likely to share that safety attitude. "

"As part of my dedication to ensuring that each voice in our workplace is valued, I am a strong advocate for cultivating a setting where open dialogue and reciprocal respect are the norm. I prioritize active listening when interacting with my team members, irrespective of their role or length of service. I recognize that each person carries a distinct viewpoint and a wealth of experiences that can enrich our shared objectives."

"Creating a workplace where every voice is valued and respected requires a multifaceted approach rooted in inclusivity, empathy, and accountability. I encourage this with active listening, inspiring participation, and fostering open communication to ensure that all team members feel heard and valued. I believe that showing respect for diversity is paramount, with efforts to celebrate and recognize the unique contributions of individuals from various backgrounds, while also promoting equal opportunities and addressing bias and discrimination are essential for fostering a truly inclusive environment on Hensel Phelps work sites. I try to lead by example, seeking feedback, and holding everyone accountable are crucial steps in this journey. Additionally, having all team members on the project generate initiatives such as creating safe spaces, offering flexible work policies, and promoting mentorship and sponsorship programs contribute to fostering a culture of inclusivity. Organizations should also prioritize continuous learning, measure progress, and engage in community partnerships to drive meaningful change both internally and externally, which is something I strive for everyday, while also ensuring all of our employees recognize the importance of this as well. By implementing these strategies, my company, Hensel Phelps, and all crew members can demonstrate a genuine commitment to valuing every voice in the workplace and create a culture where all employees feel respected, empowered, and included."

Asking for my team's perspectives and thoughts is a consistent practice to give them the floor to voice their concerns and opinions. I think the most important piece in valuing every voice is ensuring my demeanor is welcoming and that others feel connected. This creates more organic discussions to hear team members' thoughts."

"I demonstrate my commitment to valuing every voice by actively encouraging my colleagues to share their thoughts and concerns during safety meetings. In the construction job site, I regularly checked in with my team to get their feedback and provided anonymous channels for them to voice issues. These small steps foster transparency and show my dedication to the wellbeing of everyone on the job site."

"By supporting the many safety campaigns in our company"

"by responding to every voice to assure them that they are heard "

"One thing Lehman-Roberts has taught me working here is it takes a team. It takes everyone working together with the common goal of putting safety first so that Way we can all go home to our families and friends. The job at hand is very important but not near as important as our well-being truth is we all come to work to support our family so it is not worth getting hurt on a job over trying to get it done too fast we look after each other like a family because we spend as much time with the people we work with as we do at home deserves to be heard to come up with the rat solution in any job we work on "

"Be flexible adaptable "

"Living and growing up in Hawaii, we are taught and reminded of the values that are important to the Hawaiian culture. One of those values is Kuleana, which means "Responsibility". In my current position with my company as an Office Engineer, it is my Kuleana to ensure that we have collected all the safety plans and documentation before the work starts. This may seem like a mundane task. However, I see it as a huge opportunity to review the safety plans with the Foremen to identify and mitigate all of the possible hazards for the work that is being performed. I would rather identify the hazard and make adjustments in the planning phase where the workers are not exposed to it. Versus, if it were caught while the work was being performed then that means the worker had to have been exposed to the unplanned hazard, which we want to avoid. In my previous position as a Field Engineer, it was my Kuleana to make sure that our craft/trades workers had all of the tools and supplies that they needed to safely perform their work. Our craft/trades workers are also told that it is their Kuleana to communicate with me on how I can support them. I may know the general idea of the work that is going to be executed, however, the tradesperson knows the technical details of the work. I constantly let them that it is extremely important to communicate with each other because they may see something that I don't see and vice versa as well. By keeping each other accountable, we value the other person's point of view."

"Listening to everyone's ideas and talking about each one builds a stronger team."

"I value commitment to every voice in the workplace, by making sure that a culture is created on the jobsite that everyone can be heard and takes a personal stake in creating the safest environment possible. It does not matter how big or small the issue, it’s important that every aspect is looked at from the PM to down to the field crews. Safety is everyone’s responsibility and it is the upmost importance that people buy into it personally. A lot of things take place everyday and things can be overlooked, but if everyone adopts a mindset to be constantly looking out for each other and doing activities safely it will create a safe environment and culture that funnels down to job after job."

"By asking for ideas and opinions from our team when coming across obstacles "

"I demonstrate my commitment to valuing every voice in the workplace by actively listening with my full attention and maintaining eye contact. I believe in understanding perspectives before responding, fostering an environment, where everyone feels heard and respected. PFW "

"As a former Girl Scout and troop leader, it was my responsibility to ensure that all the girls participated in activities in a safe environment and in a safe manner. Whether it was swimming, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, camping, or traveling, safety has always been a guiding principle in my personal and professional life. Recently, when I realized that an action I was taking at home with a ladder was unsafe, I recalled the advice given to me by our safety manager. He taught me the importance of pausing before attempting something unsafe and seeking assistance to execute it safely. The culture of open communication and empowerment fostered by our managers serves as a model for us to do the same for ourselves and others. We all have a voice to raise any concerns, whether related to safety or otherwise, regardless of whether we agree or not. All my coworkers are encouraged to actively participate in ensuring safety and to freely express themselves at work. My commitment to my community and my coworkers is to speak up and ensure that we are all safe. That's the Five-S way."

"Improving safety in the workplace is not just about strict adherence to standards, policies, procedures and guidelines, it requires changing individuals' mindset towards taking the steps to work safer and show a genuine concern for their own and other's well-being. As a Project Manager I am not in the field performing the dangerous tasks the tradesmen and women of our industry are exposed to every day. By valuing every voice; addressing every complaint or concern, listening to every suggestion, and learning from those more experienced than me; I can show that I am genuinely concerned for each and every person that enters the project site. Valuing every voice and following through on commitments to make changes builds trust within the workforce and makes it easier for other to speak up."

"I personally make an effort to listen to others, without interrupting, even if I don’t agree. I encourage and support open communication on the jobsite to all everyone to have a voice and bring forward ideas or express concerns. "

"I make sure everyone understands that the person with no experience has a say about the operation. A new person may see things that a person with a lot of years may have missed because they are looking at a site in different ways."

"On meetings, field briefings and while working with personnel from the project on daily basis"

"I listen and communicate with my colleagues and appreciate their value to the Team."

"I am constantly doing my part to ensure a safe job site for example reminding apprentices our safety policies and speaking up to those long time employees who may have adapted bad practices. I also enjoy hearing all sub contractors and our employees suggestions and improvements on saftey. After all is said everyone on a Boldt jobsite deserves to go home to there family unharmed everyday."

"I commit to valuing every voice by encouraging and soliciting everyone to have the chance to talk in every interaction, and then intentionally and actively listening. This puts people and their thoughts at the center of the discussion and therefore decisions and actions."

"Demonstrating a commitment to valuing every voice in the workplace entails active listening, inclusive decision-making, and ongoing feedback. Creating an environment where all employees are comfortable expressing their ideas and opinions is crucial. This can be fostered by setting up regular team meetings that promote open dialogue. Moreover, brainstorming collaboratively often yields better results than doing so individually. Embracing a family-first mentality means that when one member faces challenges, everyone pitches in to improve the situation, recognizing the importance of each member in the family."

"Safety is a team effort that requires active participation from everyone involved in the work both for planning and day-to-day activities. Every team member, regardless of position, has the responsibility to protect the life and limb those not just those on the jobsite, but for the public as well. I actively encourage and remind workers of their right to stop work and/or report any potential hazards and means of improvement. If it does not look or seem right, say something - there are no repercussions or issues to small. These are the people most directly affected by the work and are more likely to observe hazards than the management team. This means that your most effective method of identifying and correcting hazards before they become problematic lies with those at the lowest levels of the hierarchy. If all voices are not valued starting with the labor force, no voices are valued and respect is lost. In this situation, you will be reacting to hazards and incidents rather than proactively avoiding them."

"I make it a point to get to know the workers on the site. When they feel comfortable with us as leaders, they are more likely to voice their concerns or give positive, constructive feedback"

"Listen and learn no one knows everything ! Engage with full team "

"Communicate effectively "

"All employees are important I don't elevate my position as being more important than others. "

"I try to create relationships with the people we work with every day. Get to know a little bit about them and their personal lives. I don't want to know everything, just what is important to them and what drives them to go home safe every day. We all have something whether its parents, wives, children, and pets that keep us going and moving forward after a long day or week of work."

"Get to know everyone’s name. Address them by their name and make eye contact with them. Saying good morning or how is your day going, goes a long way. People will open up to you if they know you truly care about their thoughts and concerns."

"All it takes is to commit yourself to meeting and commingling with folks on site. Build a report and show we’re not in our own swimlanes, but all in the pool together!"

"As a manager, I’m responsible for soliciting my team’s input on safety matters and ensuring their input is both forwarded to and considered by those with more direct responsibility than me for implementing Granite’s safety program. "

"The more eyes the better! If all of us are looking out for one another, we will identify and mitigate more risks. By valuing every voice, we keep people engaged by letting them know that we are listening to and appropriately acting upon their perceptions and concerns. The more we get everyone engaged, the safer we will keep each other. "

"Listening to my peers and making sure they are heard"

"First, actively listening to all perspectives without prejudice or bias is essential. This means creating an environment where individuals feel comfortable, expressing their ideas and opinions, regardless of their position or background. Encouraging open communication channels, and actively seeking input from all team members fosters inclusivity and ensures that diverse viewpoints are considered. Additionally, promoting diversity and inclusion initiatives within the organization reinforces the value placed on every voice. Taking concrete steps to address issues of inequality when they arise, demonstrates a commitment to valuing every voice. This may involve implementing fair and transparent decision-making processes, advocating for equal opportunities for all employees, and addressing any instances of discrimination or harassment promptly and effectively. Overall, demonstrating a commitment to valuing every voice in the workplace requires ongoing dedication, active listening, and proactive efforts to create an inclusive environment for all employees. "

"Hear what others have to say "

"I demonstrate commitment to valuing every voice in the workplace by making sure anyone who tells me an idea about anything feels respected and heard. Nothing causes more harm to a company than people being afraid to speak their minds about an issue because of the fear of being judged or ridiculed."

"Listen and provide safe environment to your team to be part of it "

" Every worker on a jobsite is unique and requires a personal touch in order to effectively communicate with. From shy to outspoke, timid to hot headed, clumsy to coordinated, it's important to acknowledge that everyone operates differently. With this inherent difference comes a beautiful reality centered around individuality, that when brought together, creates a diverse workplace. By getting to know your coworker's personality type, a relationship is forged that allows you to better understand their wants, needs, gripes, and differences. In turn, developing the skill of active listening which helps the communicator feel heard and more likely for their wants and needs to be met. Whether you are able to fix their problems or not, feeling heard and validated is vital to the success of a homogenous workplace. Through active listening, investing in those around you, and taking to heart the issues of others, I commit to valuing the voice of those around me. "

"Job sites consist of various levels of expertise and job descriptions however safety has no job title designation. I make a point to let every worker onsite understand that safety is everyone's job not only to follow but enforce as well. Canceling the idea of "not me, not my problem" is a key focus of mine to instill across the board. We all are a cohesive unit and should not only self-govern but aid our fellow construction professionals with a reminder when we notice unsafe work practices and conditions. Oftentimes, something as foundational as wearing the required PPE for the job can make the difference between a zero-incident workday and a tragic accident due to negligence. We must keep safety at the forefront of our brains at all times and being a visual example and unafraid to speak up when I recognize unsafe practices will remain my approach whenever I am on the job site. "

"One on one connections with my trade partners. Understanding their point of view and coordinating safety decision to best protect them and others around. It is imperative to collaborate with individuals who perform in place work to create the best means and methods of doing things right and safely. Hear them, learn from them, and coach them to create a safe work environment for all."

"i worked in the field for about 11 years with Manhattan and have seen and understand things get done unsafe and now I'm on the safety side i know i can help prevent little things from experience. "

"By providing feedback on all suggestions made. If the suggestion is not implemented, follow up with reasons why and continue to encourage participation. If the suggestion is incorporated, roll out to the group and be sure to give credit to the individual that made the suggestion. "

"It is important for everyone to have a voice in safety because not everyone has the same outlook on a situation. Empowering people with the ability to say something if they see something develops a stronger relationship with safety as we are all looking out for each other. "

"Safety begins within us on an individual level. I assure that I have the proper PPE, remain vigilant to potential hazards and maintain general safety awareness. To take the time to watch and observe that tasks are being conducted safely. Recognize and commend safe work practices. Make the time to talk to folks and hear about the things that are going on and what matters to them. It's in those moments where we can promote a safe site the most."

"I listen to each person on the jobs concerns, views, excuses, reasons and suggestions since most good safety ideas seem to come from the frontline worker it also gives me a chance to respond to their comments in the appropriate manner. This seems to make that individual connected to situation to keep safety up front or help correct their mistakes."

"I try to take one safety "action" each day on the job site."

"The first step is to make sure we give everyone an opportunity to speak openly, or discretely, about safety issues and concerns. The Bouten Team opens the floor to everyone at our weekly safety huddles, and we have an open door policy to listen to individuals discretely in our office or via text messages. The second, and equally important step is to make sure we provide action in response to the concerns. Quick, decisive steps to address the concerns demonstrates to everyone that they have a voice and we will always listen and react."

This in turn leads to better communication and understanding, which works to build a positive safety culture.

I helped develop a reporting tool for my company, "Take Charge", which empowers our field staff to speak up about safety concerns and safety victories. This open line of communication makes it easy for them to provide feedback and ideas for improvement in real time."

"At Manhattan Construction, we encourage everyone if they see something, then say something. This empowers everyone at the jobsite to feel like it is their responsibility to contribute to a safe working environment."

"By giving resources and having processes to assist all employees in the field and administratively. The two kinds of employees need to communicate and collaborate on all aspects of keeping the job sites safe. The employee being empowered to have a voice and knows it, contributes to this communication. The freedom to express concerns about job safety is never ignored. "

"I take the time to listen to the ideas of all members of the team."

"I feel some people are timid when trying to express their thoughts or concerns on safety or efficiency, due to previous experiences and developed trauma on previous job sites. It’s important that everyone has a voice and it is heard. The one idea that slipped through the cracks could have saved someone an injury or worse. I demonstrate my commitment by listening to coworkers ideas, questioning those ideas, and figuring out the best way to implement those ideas in my day to day work."

"I demonstrate my commitment to valuing every voice in the workplace by recognizing, acknowledging, and validating my team members often. I believe this is an effective way to motivate and engage my team while also creating a culture where everyone has a voice."

"Listening and asking questions."

"As a workplace that values continuous improvement it’s vital to listen to each employees voice. There are good and bad processes in every project and making sure we hear how it went and how it can be better is the only way to make things better. Taking a step back to look at lessons learned from each team member is the best way to ensure each person is having their voice heard. "

Doing this ensures everyone has a voice at our jobsite and feels heard. It develops a trust that our frontline supervisors takes everyone's concerns on safety seriously and is committed to the goal of zero injuries. "

"Making sure employees feel comfortable and safe. Employees should feel valued and supported when it comes to safety and issues that arise. Employees should understand that we are here for them and we listen to all their needs. "

"Make sure my team has an opportunity to have their voice heard, regardless of their title. In meetings, I call on people randomly making sure everyone speaks, if desired. If time is limited, I gather ideas from the team prior to meetings for a summary. I also listen attentively and consider their contributions as well as give feedback."

"We as a company strive to make sure that all employees know and understand that our line of communication no matter what the situation is are always open and we take great effort in giving everyone the opportunity to give feedback on what is working or what may need to change, without fear of any repercussions."
