Based on private input from members of our team, we’re pleased to announce that ConstructConnect has been named a 2024 Technology Top Workplace by Energage. This recognition comes as a result of the hardworking individuals who make up our team and the extraordinary “people first” culture that we continue to foster.

The Best Workplaces program has been surveying and honoring people-first organizations for 17 years across 60 local markets and across the country. On Major Organizations, you can find out more about how ConstructConnect creates a great work culture.

To get a better idea of what it takes to be a Technology Top Workplace, we sat down with Chief People Officer Hope Needham, who shared three reasons why ConstructConnect has an award-winning culture, each relating to three of our core values: People First, Expand Your Impact and Deliver Customer Value. 

1 ) A Dedication to Putting People First

At ConstructConnect, we rally around five key principles, the first and most northern of which is” People Earliest”. For our group, that means collaborating with one another to excel at work and in life, fostering solid ties in all interactions, and honoring each other’s individuality. Our people’s first priority is frequently cited by team members as a major factor in their work pleasure.

What does being” People First” look like in practice? It includes a number of advantages and opportunities carefully selected to assist our team members in being their true selves, including:

    Our ConstructConnect staff members are empowered to share their experiences, offer support for one another, and create programming that raises awareness and makes connections with the broader ConstructConnect group.
    Many of our teams have the option to work wherever they feel most creative and comfortable, despite the hybrid work model we offer at our four U.S. and Canadian offices.
    Team members have the option to fully show up for their loved ones with the help of their rulers, along with available paid day off for free team users, maternity and paternity leave, and pet loss leave.

We think that when we prioritize our persons, we create a place where ConstructConnect staff associates feel valued and empowered, where technology flourishes, and where social accomplishments soar,” said Chief People Officer Hope Needham. We believe that our Citizens First mindset is more than just a price; it is also a fundamental aspect of our company’s success.
 

2 ) Expanding Your Influence through Professional Development &amp, Development Options

Our People First society places a focus on providing opportunities for group members to learn and grow in order to help our team thrive at function. Expand Your Effect, another important component of our award-winning culture, is normally a result of that commitment.

At ConstructConnect, expanding your affect means building skills and expertise to raise success, seizing opportunities to add in new ways, and developing officials from within. In practice, that looks like:

    Team members utilizing the twice-weekly library hours for reading or developing independent skills.
    ConstructConnect provides development opportunities for team members at all stages of their careers, as well as a range of learning modules covering a range of technical and” soft” skills.
    Our People + Culture team is in charge of an annual success planning process that lists year-long goals for each team member, their progress, as well as the positive effects team members have had on ConstructConnect as a whole, their customers, and their organization.

Every team member on our People + Culture team is devoted to giving them opportunities to grow their impact and advance their career paths, Needham said. By supporting growth and providing development opportunities, we empower our team members to achieve both personal fulfillment and organizational success.
 

3 ) Delivering Value for Our Customers

Our ability to deliver customer value is a result of our efforts to put People First and Expand Our Impact before others. That means educating our customers about their problems, providing the right solutions, and making it simple for them to obtain what they require.

At ConstructConnect, we are proud to have built a reputation for providing best-in-class solutions and data for construction professionals. We value the commitment that it takes throughout our organization to consistently deliver that value to our customers, as well as the significant contribution that team members and customer satisfaction play in creating a positive workplace culture.

” We believe that when team members feel valued and empowered, they become our biggest advocates for customer satisfaction”, Needham shared. Their commitment and enthusiasm “reward exceptional results and experiences that resonate with our customers, confirming our commitment to excellence and long-term success,” they say.
 

Looking Ahead

Being recognized as a 2024 Technology Top Workplace is an honor that reflects ConstructConnect’s ongoing commitment to creating an exceptional, values-driven work environment.

” As Chief People Officer, I am excited about our journey ahead”, Needham said. ” I know that together, we will continue to build on our people-focused culture to create even greater opportunities for our team, partners and customers”.
