Most people have worked for a lousy boss. Hopefully, just as many people know what it’s like to work for a good boss. Are you a great boss in construction, or do you know one?
Great employers are those who walk the talk. When they say they care, they show they do. When there is a problem on the jobsite, they don’t point fingers, they present solutions. Employees feel heard and cared for. Great employers make the job about more than just a paycheck; they make it about creating skilled projects as a team.
Employers know all too well how difficult it can be to create a happy workforce. The past year presented a tremendous challenge to employers everywhere, who tried their best to stay afloat and accommodate workers during a global pandemic. Some succeeded better than others.
Are you one of those employers? Do you have a workforce that’s excited to come to work? Or do you have a terrific boss? Do you work for one of those respected companies that makes your family and friends jealous? If so, maybe that awesome employer should apply for the inaugural Best Contractors to Work for in Construction award.
The winners will receive global acclaim when published online at ForConstructionPros.com and in print in Equipment Today, Asphalt Contractor, Concrete Contractor, and Pavement Maintenance & Reconstruction. There is no cost to enter.
