In observance of Global Diversity Awareness Month, Balfour Beatty hosts its fifth annual “Together Allies Summit” dedicated to further embedding the company’s People-first Culture. The virtual summit takes place throughout October and includes a series of panel discussions on the positive impact of fostering workplaces fueled by authenticity and belonging.

This year’s summit theme “Sustaining Our Future” will highlight how Balfour Beatty is embracing the diverse nature of its workforce, celebrating the experiences and backgrounds of its employees and ensuring success through better optimization of skillsets and talents.

Starting with a summit keynote on October 8 and culminating in a guest speaker presentation on October 29, teammates will participate in several employee-led conversations featuring Balfour Beatty top leaders and employees. In addition to the virtual sessions, offices and jobsites across the nation will gather teammates together for in-person viewing of the multiple sessions throughout the month.

In the final session, employees will hear from guest speaker and former NFL player Carl Nassib. Carl will share his career journey and how dedication and resilience helped to inspire him through his life ­– on the field and off the field.

As an Ambassador Sponsor of Construction Inclusion Week, Balfour Beatty has committed to creating a more welcoming workplace environment for team members. The continued partnership in this important industry-wide initiative aligns perfectly with the goals of the Together Allies Summit and underscores Balfour Beatty’s dedication to fostering a workplace where everyone feels seen and heard.
