Improve Your Company Culture to Attract, Grow and Retain the Best Workers

Today more than ever your company culture can help you attract and retain the quality employees you want – or it can keep people from wanting to work at your company. Two contractors will discuss how they have worked together to improve their cultures and how they have developed a path for employee growth and retention that starts with the hiring process. You’ll learn how to implement a skills test for new hires and develop a “skills pyramid” that lays out a clear path for employees to develop and progress at their own pace. Plus, learn new approaches to training (the old ways no longer work), how job descriptions that include “key performance indicators” solve problems when performance drops off, and take home specific actions to make your company a place people want to come to work. Come learn how this approach has worked for these two pavement maintenance pros – and how it can work for your company too!
