Understanding Balfour Beatty
At Balfour Beatty, our employees are the true experts. Every day, they bring fresh perspectives and smart solutions that make us stronger, safer, and more productive.
That’s why we created My Contribution - our award-winning programme for employee-led business change. It’s a platform where employee ideas are turned into action, giving everyone the opportunity to shape the future of our business.
Recognised with the “Best Use of Voice of the Employee” award at the 2023 Engage Awards, My Contribution has become a driving force for innovation. Since its launch in 2015, it has powered real improvements - from advancing safety standards and strengthening sustainability, to helping us recover from the challenges of COVID-19, and even leading the Big AI Challenge in partnership with Microsoft.
Team MyC leading the Big AI Challenge
My Contribution connects people across teams, functions, and geographies. It’s more than a platform - it’s a space for collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving in real time. Every idea has the potential to make a difference and create positive change, and every employee has the power to contribute to our shared success.
Together, we’re proving that when people are heard, innovation thrives.
