DPR also leverages Uber for Business for ad-hoc employee appreciation efforts. The Uber for Business platform helps provide ground transportation options and supports travelers with meal options from over 780,000 restaurant partners. The company was helping to build part of Uber’s San Francisco headquarters at the time, which led to a conversation with Uber for Business about improving employee travel in what Atkins calls the “DPR way.” Optimizing company travelĭPR employees travel far and wide, whether moving between offices and job sites in the US or visiting Italian rock quarries. Paul Atkins, one of DPR’s Internal Audit team leaders, put that philosophy into action a few years ago when he and his colleague Dianna Tarallo suggested a revamp of DPR’s travel program. The “Ever Forward” spirit is visible on DPR’s construction sites, where new methods like prefabrication and robotics have increased efficiency, quality, and safety. “We also are committed to self-initiated change and improvement, which means that while we focus on our roles, we always want to explore when there’s a potentially better way to do something. Moving “Ever Forward”ĭPR also centers itself on 4 core values, among them “Ever Forward.” “Everybody here, regardless of their roles, sees how they contribute to ,” says Weisberger.
While employees do not have titles, all have specific roles and individual responsibilities that point back to the company’s purpose. With 8,600 team members across more than 30 locations, it’s a massive operation in the offices and in the field. DPR’s simple purpose-“We exist to build great things”-touches all aspects of the company, from the projects it oversees to the way it empowers its teams.Īs part of its mission to be a Most Admired Company by 2030, DPR takes its people practices seriously. “ Doug, Peter, and Ron were able to take a fresh look at what could be better about this industry, from the way we approach collaborative forms of delivery to the way we focus on 5 core markets,” says one of DPR’s communications leaders Jay Weisberger. Since its inception in 1990, DPR Construction has set out to build a unique type of construction firm and do things differently in an industry traditionally resistant to change.
