Join Culture Connectors
GET ENGAGED!
The Shipbuilder Engagement Team fosters an environment of enthusiasm across the shipyard. Shipbuilding is hard work, but it’s more than just “eight and the gate”. Our job is to find ways for shipbuilders to connect with other things tied to Ingalls that still relay back to our purpose.
CULTURE CONNECTORS
Culture Connectors serve as engagement champions at Ingalls, helping to foster an environment of shipbuilder enthusiasm and serving as a connection to the workforce. Culture Connectors are supportive and passionate about the mission and vision of Ingalls Shipbuilding. They are confident, empathetic and approachable to all shipbuilders. Here are some touch points to stay engaged through Culture Connectors!

SHIPBUILDER RESOURCE SHOWCASE
Learn more about what’s available to YOU at the Shipbuilder Resource Showcase. From help with payroll and transportation to opportunities for professional development and engagement, representatives from Ingalls and HII are present to speak with shipbuilders and provide information on how to access resources.
NEW SHIPBUILDER MEET AND GREET
Calling all new shipbuilders! Be on the lookout for New Shipbuilder Meet & Greet events!
Stop by before or after your shift to build your connections, discover resources and benefits, and learn more about our company culture. This is a come-and-go event, so you do not have to be present for the full two hours to attend.
Flex or PTO is required to attend if attending during your shift. This is a non-chargeable event.
COFFEE AND CONVERSATIONS
Join the Shipbuilder Engagement Team and Culture Connectors for a little pick-me-up in the yard during Coffee & Conversations! This touchpoint allows shipbuilders to meet and greet, network and learn how the Engagement team can be of service to them.
THANKFUL THURSDAYS
Choose one day a month to show appreciation for some or all of your team members. From there, Culture Connectors go around giving them a thank you treat and encouragement in that specific location or department.
CHIP CHIP HOORAY
Reward your team members for being great representatives throughout the company. If someone from your team wins a company/ corporate award, celebrate them with a cookie gift box to show your appreciation for a job well done.
SHIPBUILDER ENGAGEMENT DAY
This event was centered around showing gratitude for shipbuilders, while also highlighting engagement efforts throughout the year through programs like Culture Connectors, Ingalls Champions, employee resource groups (ERGs) and more. One of the highlights of the event is recognizing the Ingalls Champion of the Year. A shipbuilder is recognized for their volunteer efforts at numerous events Ingalls supported and hosted throughout the year.
