Hatch your career with Hazeldenes

After 40 years of working on the road, I secured a job three hours away from my children and grandchildren. This is a significant phase in my life. ARCO Murray in Downers Grove, IL, will be greatly missed. I have many positive things to say about this company. They treated me like a family member and did not micromanage their Superintendents, unlike many companies today. While not all companies are like this, many smaller companies tend to hire Directors of Field Operations with little practical experience, who often arrive on-site expecting to find mistakes. This is one of the reasons I speak so highly of ARCO Murray. Their executives call ahead before visiting a site to ensure availability. Few companies operate this way anymore, and if you find one, it is advisable to stay. Over the past 40 years, I have witnessed significant changes in the industry, some positive but many negative. My advice to younger Superintendents is to thoroughly evaluate a company, just as they evaluate you. If a company has a high turnover rate, it is best to avoid it, as you may come to regret it.

Kristen Craig, our Warehouse Supervisor. has been working with us for 2 years and is a valuable team member at PGL - we asked her a few questions about her time with PGL so you could get to know her a little better: What's Your Favorite Product? My top pick from PGL's extensive product range are the fabulous washi tapes. I've utilised them in various DIY painting projects at home, and they've proven to be the perfect tool for the job. What Do You Love about PGL? The standout feature of PGL for me is its incredible team. Surrounded by supportive and cheerful colleagues, there's a fantastic camaraderie that makes work a place I love to be. Laughter is a constant in our vibrant workspace, and the collaborative spirit is very uplifting. Tell Us A Little About Yourself: Outside of work, I cherish moments outdoors—whether it's embarking on bush walks, seeking adventures, or enjoying the beach with my 11-year-old daughter. In quieter times, you'll find me engrossed in a good book or captivated by an enthralling TV show. Opportunities Unveiled at PGL: PGL gave me the opportunity to work in an office job initially, which I hadn’t done before. After realising that customer service was not for me, PGL not only moved quickly to allow me to move back to an area in the business I love but also to move up to a supervisor role. PGL sees your strengths and provides all training and resources to help you move up the ladder within the company. #PGLGroup #PomonaTapes #Danco #Intro #PGLInsights #TeamCulture #WorkplaceJourney #PGLExperience #CareerGrowth #EmployeeSpotlight #CompanyCulture #TeamCollaboration #WorkLifeBalance #ProfessionalDevelopment #WorkplaceAdventure #OutdoorEnthusiast #PGLFamily #EmployeeSuccess #CompanyValues

Robert & Emily’s Success Story: Part 2 Robert was active, ambitious, and hardworking. He wanted to work better and faster, so he invested much effort, diligence and energy when carrying out even the smallest assignments. This young man quickly perceived the information and demonstrated his skills and abilities, which his leaders noticed and greatly appreciated. Robert loved his job and the people he worked with, but he knew he had the potential to do more. Robert was always looking for ways to improve his work and take on more responsibilities. Within a few months, he was appointed Warehouse Supervisor, and now he trained new subordinates and supervised some production processes.

I always cringe when I see a video of myself, but after watching a few times, it takes me back to how I felt back in December when I was in Nashville for Barge Design Solutions Corporate Orientation. We had our Annual Meeting in Nashville this past weekend, where the entire Barge team (and our families) were invited for a weekend at Opryland! The weekend only got me more excited for what's to come. Main takeaways: 1. Ownership: While Barge is privately held, our stock has out-performed most companies on the NYSE over the past 3 years and growth projections don't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. The ability to have ownership in the company you work for brings on a whole new level of excitement and authenticity to the day to day work. 2. Legacy: Barge's record of getting "selected when it matters the most" has led to an unbelievable portfolio of high profile projects around the Southeast. We are excited to continue that legacy here in South Carolina. 3. Impact: The work we do, whether it be for the private sector, state and local sector, or the federal government, has made a lasting impact on businesses, communities, patients, and our military. We are people taking care of people.

For anyone transitioning in their career journey: We often have to grow in our career path, starting at an entry-level position. Some of the best Managers are those who have worked in various levels and roles in a company. They bring a wholistic perspective, understanding the work that goes into each role. Don't be afraid to step into a role that is not your dream position. If the company is the right fit, you will have the opportunity to showcase your value. And you will add more value to the company than you ever could before, by understanding their company values, mission and culture.

"This was an employee to employee nomination. This gentleman has been setting a great example with his work ethic. There're a lot of new faces on his jobsite and he's been showing these guys how we do things at GRO with his hard work. He's been a really good role model for the new faces here. For being bold, Jose Zamora!" Manager Erik F. We have monthly safety meetings here at GRO. They are a great time for us to go over important safety topics, to gather as a company, and to honor employees for embodying GRO's Core Values: Do the Right Thing, Go Above & Beyond, Be Bold, & Care for Others.

For the past two years, Nate Splane has represented the Derby Fire Department at our annual safety fair to explain the scope and capabilities of the teams sent out during construction emergencies. His clarity and earnestness have been a high point of the fair, which made it more fitting than surprising to see him hired as Kruse’s new Safety Manager. This week we caught up with Nate to discuss the career that got him here, and his vision for a growing company and maintaining an excellent standard for safety. Serving as a firefighter for fifteen years, Nate’s three most recent years have involved serving as a lieutenant leading five firemen. Through his time serving Sedgewick County and Derby, Nate saw the cost of carelessness on worksites, and grew fluent in worksite standards. Beyond this, Nate developed a leadership style he looks forward to translating in his new position “I tend to lead from the rear. Let people make their own decisions, trust them, and receive their input.” Nate’s vision for our safety department revolves around building committees of existing workers to give a voice to real world needs and develop solutions collectively. “I’ll put it on paper, but they’ll have a say on what we do.” Nate believes this will increase buy-in from the workers, redefining safety as an internal effort, rather than an invading force on the jobsite. To bolster this buy-in, Nate described his leadership style as “rewards oriented rather than punitive. I’d rather lift people up instead of putting them down.” This approach is counterbalanced by competition, a favorite of Nate’s. With a son in football, a daughter in volleyball and soccer, and his own history playing baseball, Nate’s love of friendly competition runs deep. With these strategies, Nate’s confident that the force that has traditionally been seen as an inconvenience on jobsites can become an exciting and engaging aspect of Kruse’s work culture. No job is big enough to justify unsafe work conditions, and every worker deserves to go home safe and sound every day. It’s Nate’s goal that Kruse can deliver the safety our workers deserve, while also strengthening our already strong work culture in the process. #safety #workculture #competition #friendlycompetition
