The Grow Group

A clean and an organized facility says a lot about your team. Here’s why it’s important: → Efficiency: A tidy workspace promotes efficiency, allowing teams to navigate tasks smoothly and focus on delivering exceptional results. → Safety: Organized tools and equipment reduce hazards, ensuring a safe working environment for everyone. → Professionalism: A clean facility reflects professionalism, instilling confidence in clients and stakeholders alike. We emphasize these principles to optimize operations and elevate standards in the industry. Are you ensuring your facility is clean and tidy?

One thing's for sure when attending a field trip with GROW: 💯 You'll leave with a wealth of notes and takeaways to share with your team for improvement. We’re happy to hear from Turf Management Services, one of our attendees from our field trip last year, that they’re implementing new practices they learned from us! 🗓️ Join us on August 7-8, 2024, for our first Grunder Landscaping Co. Field Trip this year where we host landscape professionals at our Dayton headquarters for intensive learning sessions with Marty and the GLC leadership team.

“The function of leadership isn't to create followers, it's to create more leaders.” Landscaping often involves a lot of professional problem solving: when we find something unexpected on a jobsite, a piece of equipment breaks down midday, or a client calls us with an issue they'd like our help solving. 🔗 On our recent Great Idea, I shared what I’ve learned over the years: https://lnkd.in/en57sF6h – Marty
