The Big Picture:  Shipbuilders in Supply Chain Management (SCM) held a Summer Uplift Week to celebrate the spirit and values of what makes their department unique. 

  • Shipbuilders showed their “true colors” each day based on different themes throughout the week 

How It Works: Each day that week featured a color theme tied to a shared value:

  • Monday (red) – Self Love 
  • Tuesday (purple) - Positivity
  • Wednesday (blue) - Helpfulness
  • Thursday (gray) - Kindness
  • Friday (green) - Thankfulness

Why It Matters: Team engagement activities like Summer Uplift Week promote pride, connection and positivity —turning small moments into meaningful ones.

  • Helps foster an environment of enthusiasm
  • Builds on the important work Culture Connectors are already doing across the shipyard

What Culture Connectors Are Saying: 

  • Sara Tuite, Procurement Planning Control Representative: "I really enjoyed the daily color themes! It was a fun and simple way to bring some extra energy and connection to our work week." 
  • Kim Isabell, Administrative Generalist: “Uplift Week was such a fun way to bring everyone together. Seeing everyone in matching colors helps build connections and turns every day into a shared celebration.”
