culture.
Company culture is important in every industry, but in construction where there are increased rates of injury, addiction, and turnover, it should be even more important. Unfortunately, this is seldom the case. At EDA Contractors, we don’t just emphasize the importance of culture in the workplace, we live it in everything we do. This starts with our promise of being successful together and extends to each of our values. We expect all of our employees to work toward creating a workplace where people feel valued, appreciated, and find a genuine sense of happiness and purpose that transcends both work and home life. This type of environment has even been proven to improve performance and employee retention.
committees.
Our culture is about embracing an "employee-first" attitude and commitment to our successful together promise. Members of the EDA Culture Team and EDA Champions Committee are tasked with listening to their colleagues and serving as agents of change throughout the company.
Supplementing these two committees, EDA also has a Fun Committee which helps drive culture and connection by hosting fun events throughout the year. Events range from bowling and family picnics, to company fishing trips. These events help employees get to know their colleagues more personally and allows them to unwind from the stresses of their daily work.
In addition to these fun events, the EDA Cares Committee organizes our efforts to give back to the community. Employees on EDA Cares work directly with a charity that is meaningful to them, creating opportunities to engage EDA volunteers and support their mission.
