BUILDERS CODE – The Standard for Workplace Culture
BCCA Builders Code has been at the forefront of advancing psychological safety since 2019. As the first industry-led initiative to directly address workplace culture, Builders Code called attention to the barriers behind the low representation of women and other equity-deserving groups. It did so by reframing bullying, harassment, hazing, and discrimination as critical safety, retention, and productivity issues.
Builders Code broke new ground by establishing a construction industry standard code of conduct – offering an employer-initiated suite of practical resources designed to create and sustain psychological safety in the workplace. These resources continue to evolve to meet the needs of the industry and remain relevant to current workplace challenges.
Today, over 2000 companies have signed the pledge to create better workplaces. Over 2500 industry leaders have engaged in Builders Code workplace culture training. And many companies have been recognized for leading the way in fostering a safe, inclusive, respectful environment – that works for everyone.
Builders Code invites you to become an employer of choice and be a part of shaping the future of Canada’s construction industry.
