Why Belonging Matters
At HITT, you belong here. We want to create a space where we can build a brighter future and all voices can flourish. Organized around three key principles, our actionable and measurable strategy is more than a plan—it’s a mindset.
Cultivating Community
We nurture a community mindset by creating connections amongst team members so they can form meaningful bonds and feel safe, understood, supported, and valued.
Listening Intently
We establish listening channels and communication tools to give every individual a voice and the ability to influence at HITT.
Challenging Mindsets
We help our team members grow and learn by exposing them to ideas, perspectives, knowledge, and training to help us work better together.
Our Mission: Belonging
HITT is dedicated to promoting a positive and inclusive environment for all through education, networking, and workplace collaboration.
Training and Development
It’s critical that we help our teams embrace a more inclusive mindset. We’re incorporating new ideas, perspectives, and training to guide our team members’ journeys. In their first 90 days, all team members must complete training on topics that help ensure we are creating an environment where everyone feels they belong here. Through our in-house learning and development program, HITT University, our team members can access more than 400 digital and hybrid courses designed to help them develop and become leaders in the construction industry
Jobsite Orientation
Many of the people we work with on our jobsites are partners, subcontractors, and suppliers. To ensure a shared understanding, HITT requires every person on-site to complete a brief Inclusive Jobsites training as part of their site orientation
HITT has a responsibility to ensure a more inclusive future for both our team members and our subcontractor partners. We pledge that everyone who works with HITT will experience a sense of belonging, and we’re always eager to engage with passionate voices looking to impact the general contracting world.

Our team members are at the heart of HITT’s purpose and success. Their individual stories are the collective voice of our company. Only when every story can be heard and celebrated can we achieve our true purpose together. No matter your story, if you’re driven by doing whatever it takes to do the right thing, you belong here.
