We’re celebrating BIG at Ames Construction!
To mark our first Employee Ownership Month together, we asked Ames coworkers to share their thoughts about the ESOP and our “Fueled by Family” culture.
👷 What does “Fueled by Family” mean to you?
“We are all a part of one Ames family and we all are doing our part to make this family stronger!”
“We came from a family-owned company and still are fueled by that. We don’t want to lose sight of how we got here.”
“It’s central to our culture at Ames; we are all constructors together.”
“Upper management actually knows your name.”
“Working together to get something done safely so we all can go home to our families.”
“That Ames cares about all employees and the families of the employees and will do what we can to make family a priority.”
👷 What does employee ownership mean to you as we start our ESOP journey together?
“ESOP means I have a stronger voice in our company and I’m not just a number.”
“Every one of us has a true stake in the company’s success and its future. Not just as family members, but as owners. It’s about taking ownership in what we do, knowing that it’s our responsibility to build a future not only for the company but for generations of families to come.”
“We’re all accountable to each other now to make sure Ames continues to succeed, and we all now have a stake in that success. As Ames does well, we do well.”
“It’s about building something together and sharing in the wins. I’m excited to see where this ESOP journey takes us.”
We are Ames, and we are Fueled by Family!
