Diversity is not a new initiative at Webcor but during the COVID-19 pandemic, the company was inspired to revisit its approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). This led to a solicitation of employee feedback through a series of listening sessions, followed by goal-setting and planning. In this update, you will hear from President and CEO Jes Pedersen and Chief People Officer Mei Lin Wolff about the structure developed to support our DEI efforts along with some of the activities that are in the works to drive DEI goals into the fabric of the organization.







One of the aspects of the DEI effort has been the introduction of a formal process for establishing Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). Representatives from Webcor's two existing ERGs also participated in the conversation: From Women of Webcor (WOW), Internal Communications Manager, and from The Collective (the Black employee's ERG), Senior Design Manager Brittany Williams.

Ron Hanneman









Ron Hanneman has been at Webcor for nearly half of the company's existence, starting as a laborer during the days when one could walk onto a project site and get a job. Today, Ron travels from project to project in a unique role within Webcor, one he recognized was needed but never expected to have himself.

In this special episode of the Webcor@50 podcast, President and CEO Jes Pedersen joins the leaders in charge of the three categories of the company's new Corporate Social Responsibility strategy. The framework for the strategy is Environmental, Social, Corporate Governance (ESG), with 14 goals and 35 targets spread across the People, Planet, and Performance categories. The discussion covers the genesis of the CSR plan, the reason for the approach taken, and examples of goals and targets in each of the categories. In the photo, clockwise from upper left, are Pedersen, COO Matt Rossie (leading the Performance effort), Sustainability Director Jenelle Shapiro (responsible for the Planet category), and HR Sr. VP Mei Lin Wolff (accountable for the People goals).

Tom Soohoo







Tom Soohoo grew up in San Francisco’s Sunset neighborhood and graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Civil Engineering in 1995. After graduation, Tom worked in software consulting and design for nine years before making a career change into the construction industry in 2004 with Webcor. He says, "I originally thought I would just complete one building and head off to business school, but 17 years later, here I still am. I fell in love with the camaraderie of the people and the product that we build in this business. I find nothing more fulfilling than both leading and participating in teams that build something that another person can use to live, work, play, worship, rest, heal, and enjoy." The last 10 years of his Webcor career have been focused on business acquisition: both the strategy and execution of winning projects. He currently leads the Marketing Department at Webcor where the focus is attracting new work and driving the Webcor brand to external markets.
