Culture Training for Company Owners, HR Managers, and Executives
“It’s [Builders Code] a great thing from a productivity standpoint. You have people happy and getting along and not looking over their shoulders – you’re going to get the best out of people.” Jesse Unke, Director Project Management, RAM
Are you ready to improve site and company safety, productivity, and reputation?
It starts with culture.
Shaping positive worksite behaviour – your own and the behaviour of others – is one of the most important and powerful responsibilities of leadership. An inclusive company culture translates to better productivity and safety outcomes and helps attract and retain the best talent.
Employers often underestimate the financial impacts of hazing, bullying and harassment on the worksite. These negative behaviours cause stress and distraction in the crew that can lead to turnover, lost time, injury-related health care costs, legal actions, rehiring costs, and reduced productivity.
The Builders Code training takes participants step-by-step through a suite of useful tools to show company leaders practical and effective ways to tackle old-fashioned behaviours and negative patterns, and ensure everyone on the worksite is safe, protected, and working to their full potential.
In our full-day-equivalent virtual workshop, you’ll explore the benefits of a positive worksite culture and the nature and impact of unacceptable conduct, learn how to enable and encourage positive behaviour, and become familiar with the powerful tools that will help you lead change.
This professionally facilitated session will focus on the roles and responsibilities of owners and executives, including corporate policies and procedures, language, engagement, and communication. Participants will break into small peer groups to discuss real-life examples like how to support a newly diverse team and what to do if racist symbols appear on the job site.
Sessions are scheduled into three 2.5 hour segments over three days to make digital learning more engaging and are capped at 12 students to encourage participation and make sure everyone has a voice. Each participant will receive a set of digital materials and sample policies to keep and will be personally connected with a local Builders Code Advisor for optional post-session support at no additional cost.

- Build awareness across the construction workforce to lead the evolution of the worksite culture to one that is free from unacceptable conduct (hazing, harassment, bullying, and discrimination) to one that is welcoming, supportive, and productive for all workers.
- Facilitate the “unlearning” of attitudinal biases, stereotypes, and inequitable or hostile conduct and practices that create barriers for the success and wellbeing of all workers and companies in the construction trades.
- Develop the specific knowledge and skills across the workforce for all workers to confidently and effectively identify and address incidents of bias, exclusion, harassment, hazing, and bullying on the work site.
- Motivate all employees to accept their role and responsibility for maintaining a healthy worksite culture, and inspire those persons who could be site role models or leads to support colleagues from other demographic groups, as well as to monitor and hold others accountable for behaviour that is not acceptable.
