Build a strong company foundation with employee engagements

Build Stronger company foundation

When people are asked to picture construction employees, what often comes to mind are hardworking, clock-in and clock-out, push-through-the-day professionals. This, in turn, positively affects a company’s profitability, revenue, client experience, turnover rate, talent acquisition, employer brand and even workplace safety.

The good news is that these obstacles are surmountable if construction leaders understand exactly what motivates their teams. Many high-risk situations, including changes in contract scope that put employees out of work and unpredictable outcomes of bidding wars, make it crucial for employees to trust that leaders are effectively planning for their future.

Encourage them to dig deep, be honest about where they see room for improvement and offer suggestions for making that happen. The more active employees are in planning for the company’s future, the easier it will be for them to envision their own success in the company. Strong, sturdy and resilient are great strengths for any employee, but barely graze the surface of skills and qualities found among construction professionals.

In fact, construction employees ranked “my job allows me to use my strengths” as the number two driver of employee engagement. You can further determine if there are any other skills employees would like to put to use or brush up on. Make a strategic plan based on how employees can use these skills now and identify what the company can do to help them continue to grow from their strengths and weaknesses.

To meet employees’ changing expectations, leaders need to be in tune with their team and understand exactly what they need to succeed. Then, let them know leaders are listening and value their opinion by offering solutions for helping them meet their true potential.

Employees who feel heard, who have input in the business and who know they’re part of building the company’s future will remain motivated and passionate about their careers

Things to Do Before Going on Vacation

Most of the world sets goals and makes resolutions all the time, however, very few percents of people actually stick to those resolutions. While it’s entirely possible that many people are being unrealistic with their goals, the number one thing you need to do before going on a vacation is to write down your achievements and goals. Doing this will set you up to be productive and enables you to go into your vacation with a clear direction and positive attitude. Part of setting realistic goals and priorities is reflecting on what you’ve accomplished in the past. Here are few good questions to ask yourself: How many accounts did you manage? How much in sales volume did you secure?  Did you reduce cost?  How many clients did you interact with?  Did you surpass a quota? Did you manage a team? If so, how many team members did you manage? Did you work with any notable clients or vendors? Did you secure a...

11 Things Smart People Don't Say

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. There are some things you simply never want to say at work. These phrases carry special power: they have an uncanny ability to make you look bad even when the words are true. Worst of all, there’s no taking them back once they slip out. I’m not talking about shocking slips of the tongue, off-color jokes, or politically incorrect faux pas. These aren’t the only ways to make yourself look bad. Often it’s the subtle remarks -- the ones that paint us as incompetent and unconfident -- that do the most damage. No matter how talented you are or what you’ve accomplished, there are certain phrases that instantly change the way people see you and can forever cast you in a negative light. These phrases are so loaded with negative implications that they undermine careers in short order.

The Large Magellanic Cloud comes alive in a 240 megapixel image

Ciel Austral is a team of five very enthusiastic amateur French astronomers, Jean Claude Canonne, Philippe Bernhard, Didier Chaplain, Nicolas Outters, and Laurent Bourgon, who own and operate their own telescope in northern Chile. The 14400×14200 image was stitched together from nearly 4,000 separate images that required 1,060 hours (6.3 weeks) of exposures shot from July 2017 to January 2019. It took two computers eight days to stitch together the photos, and a further two months to process the 620 gigabytes of data. If you could warp yourself to the Magellanic Cloud, it wouldn't look like the dreamy, painterly image pictured above. Much of the image is made up of false colors that show the different elements present in the image. Different colors represent hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen III, emphasizing the cloud-like high-density gas nebulae in a way that a standard visible light image can't. The image shows the birth and death of stars and the aftermath, including super...
