My Contribution

Engaging our employees and their ideas to bring about positive business change.

Our employees are our experts. They have fresh and insightful ideas about how things could be done better or more efficiently. Through My Contribution, we tap into this rich seam of creative thinking from people who understand our business better than anyone and want to make a meaningful contribution. For more information please read our understanding My Contribution booklet. 

My Contribution encourages and empowers everyone to be an innovator and for innovation to take place across every part of our business. It has played a key role in helping Balfour Beatty go from strength to strength over the past five years, and has proven its value most recently during the COVID-19 pandemic, when our workforce used it to share ideas to ensure that Balfour Beatty was able to innovate and adapt to new ways of working.

Ideas drive change

My Contribution enables us to harness the enthusiasm, knowledge and expertise of our employees. It provides an open channel for real-time collaboration, which crosses over functions, business units and geographic locations, bringing together experts from across our business to crowd-source ideas, innovate and problem solve.

Most importantly, My Contribution delivers a clear message that each and every one of our employees can drive change and deliver benefits for our stakeholders.  My Contribution allows creative thinking to flourish and helps ensure our workforce is invested in driving our business forward.
