The Big Picture: Recognition starts with you — When shipbuilders take the initiative to spotlight their teams, it helps build a stronger, more connected workforce.

Did You Know? Any shipbuilder can partner with the Shipbuilder Engagement team to recognize others or find ways to build stronger team connections

  • Jason Rivers in Production Planning reached out to the Engagement department recently to explore ways he could show gratitude for his teammates
  • Why It Matters: Recognition efforts build morale and reinforce a culture of appreciation.
  • Simple gestures can have a big impact
  • Shipbuilders feel seen and valued
  • Engagement efforts strengthen team connections

What They’re Saying:

  • Jason Rivers, Production Planning & Scheduler: “The whole idea of reaching out actually came from a conversation I had with an Ingalls shipbuilder who wanted a christening coin. That made me reflect on my team and how something that simple can boost morale and engagement in my department. I never want any shipbuilder to feel like they aren’t appreciated for the hard work they do every day.”
