Team Member Networks
These team member-led groups advance inclusion in our workplace by connecting team members who share a common purpose or interest.
Barton Malow’s four Team Member Networks are:
A forum for early career professionals to network, collaborate, and participate in personal and professional growth opportunities, while positively impacting their surrounding communities. Activities and topics are geared toward team members who have less than 10 years of professional experience, however all team members are welcome to attend. The Bridge has participated in volunteer activities, networking events, and personal and professional development sessions, including first-time homebuyer and self-care workshops.
The MOSAIC team member network aims to raise cultural awareness by connecting team members and engaging in multicultural group discussions. The MOSAIC network has hosted speakers for Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Mental Health Awareness month, hosted a rabbi to present the history and heritage of Hanukkah, and hosted a panel of Barton Malow women team members to commemorate Women’s History Month.
Whether you’re an expecting parent, new parent, single parent, adoptive parent, foster parent, or caregiver, the Parents + Caregivers group provides resources, shared experiences, and information to serve as a voice of support for families throughout the Barton Malow Family of Companies. The group has hosted forums that discuss coping with mental health, school experience and education, caregiving challenges, and more.
The Veterans Team Member Network was established for active, separated, and retired military veterans and family members of military members to connect by sharing personal stories, providing advice, and sharing information and supportive resources.
Team Member Well-Being + Advancement
Barton Malow strives to foster a culture of learning and development for our team members’ personal and professional growth. Our team members are recognized and valued for their work and empowered to engage in and lead their own development plans, career development, join and get involved with industry associations they are passionate about, as well as take advantage of our internal learning and development opportunities.
Some of the benefits to help promote team member well-being include paid caregiver leave, physical and mental health support, financial hardship support, and educational support with a financial bonus provided for completing a bachelor’s or master’s program. Barton Malow established the Emergency Disaster Relief Fund to assist team members during times of potential and extreme need due to federally declared disasters.
New Team Member Ambassador Program
Barton Malow has established an Ambassador Program where new team members are paired with a veteran team member who isn’t their manager to help navigate the ins and outs of their new work environment, grow an internal network, and achieve a sense of belonging sooner.
Culture of Care
We have joined the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) in pledging to continue to build a Culture of CARE. As part of this program, Barton Malow aims to further build on our commitment to a company culture that allows every team member the opportunity to reach their full potential, be their most productive, and do their best without the fear of harassment, hazing, or bullying.
