Mutual Respect. We work by our Leadership Covenants, which encourage openness, teamwork, and trust. We value an inclusive culture based on diverse backgrounds, experience, and views.
—from Bechtel’s Vision + Values
- Treat Bechtel colleagues with mutual respect, trust, and dignity and believe they are acting in the best interest of the company.
- Help each other; ask for and give help and welcome it freely (it is not a sign of weakness). Go out of the way to provide extra support to fellow employees. Share experiences and lessons learned, both successes and failures.
- Communicate early, honestly, and completely with all who have a direct interest in the subject. Listen to others’ points of view.
- Earn trust by accepting and honoring agreements, keeping promises, and discussing needed changes before acting.
- Work to understand Bechtel Group, Inc. goals and strategies and proactively support them through discussions, communications, and actions (for example, sharing resources).
- Never undermine colleagues directly or indirectly.
- Work jointly to resolve disagreements in good faith. If necessary, go to a higher authority together, then accept and support the solution.
- Contribute constructively by exercising the highest level of professional and ethical behavior.
- Promote continuous use of the covenants.
