On a recent episode of New Perspectives with Barry Lefkowitz, Ed opened up about the construction industry’s hidden crisis: disproportionately high rates of injury, addiction, and suicide. Rather than looking the other way, EDA has responded with a bold cultural shift Ed calls “Humanity as a Strategy.”
Through a deep commitment to psychological safety, trust-based union partnerships, and employee-driven programs like EDA Cares and the EDA Pact program, Ed shared how the company is creating an environment where people feel valued, heard, and supported—on and off the job site.
“It’s not just about the bottom line. It’s about creating a place where people feel safe, supported, and part of something bigger—and that’s when real results follow.” - Ed DeAngelis, CEO, EDA Contractors
