Moving Work From Control to Care - Enabling Work
Moving Work From Controls to Care
Work has become bureaucratic. But it doesn’t have to be. At Gamuda, we know that the best work comes from collaboration, communication, and working as a single, united team that strives for excellence — day in, day out. Which is exactly what Enabling Work has been designed to achieve.
The program gives us the tools to place people at the very centre of how we do our work. Because when we collaborate, we have a better chance to focus on positive outcomes. At the same time, we remind ourselves that safe, responsible, and effective work is more than just a requirement. It’s more than ‘ticking boxes’ and ‘simply following legislation’. It’s an ethical responsibility shared by everyone at Gamuda.
Work should never be about control. So, we give everyone a voice in how we tackle challenges and create unbreakable links between those involved in the process. This teamwork actively breaks down silos and enables great work. It provides everyone with a certain level of autonomy, as well as the discretion to be safe in everything they do.
Enabling Work will never be achieved by one or two people on their own. It needs to be part of a culture built on ‘we, not me’. We want everyone to get involved — even using the Enabling Work foundations to properly communicate with our full, expansive range of collaborators. That way, we can move from controls to care, and empower those with the most experience to help shape how Gamuda works. For us, that’s what it means to really enable work.
Key Principles of Enabling Work
Enabling Work is about how we collaborate. It’s how we move from controls to care, communicating and working as one team to strive for excellence.
- We don’t view our people as just a resource. They help come up with real solutions that help bring positive outcomes.
- Together, we’re reminded that safe and effective work is more than a requirement. It’s an ethical responsibility.
- Enabling Work will help create a culture focused on integrated, simplified, and improved systems that improve the way we work.
- We care about people. So, we enable them to successfully tackle each and every workplace risk or challenge that they face.
- With Enabling Work, we can give people the right levels of autonomy — as well as the discretion they need to deliver safe operational performances.
- Enabling Work is the foundation of how we approach and communicate work to our wide range of collaborators.
- The program also empowers those who have the most experience recognising risks and anomalies so that they can shape how Gamuda works.
