Insight Recruitment’s Post

Summer is Coming! The chaos and stress that accompany this time of year are inevitable, right? Contemplating the need for another employee but not full-time or year-round? Discouraged from hiring people that don't work out? And the waste of money that goes along with it? Solution: Just hire me to come in and do what you need done and that's it! I can navigate ODOT and Public Works project in my sleep and have a proven track record (and professional liability in case you don't care about track records) which gives you peace of mind and time to do what you're good at - building a job!! As-needed. No commitment.

🔧 Sometimes in property management, you have to be the one to get a little dirty to keep things running smoothly. Today was one of those days! 💦 Faced with an unexpected water issue, I had to roll up my sleeves, get a bit wet, and find the water shut-off valve myself. It’s all part of the job and what it takes to ensure our properties are well-maintained and our tenants are happy. Here's a snapshot from today’s adventure. It's a reminder that hands-on problem-solving is often the most effective approach. 🌿🔧💧 #PropertyManagement #ProblemSolving #HandsOn #MaintenanceMatters #TeamWork #PMIHomeTeam

Before any digging project, it's important to call 811. This simple step can prevent utility disruptions and ensure your safety. Watch Ryan explain the importance of calling 811 and what might happen if you don't.

It happened again! I came across a contractual obligation to save project information in floppy disks 💾 or tape cassette 📼 !! Who else is "floppy disks and tape cassette" years old 👴🏼 ? #contractmanagement #contractreview #conctractantique

Ask Aspen: Should there be damage to my property during a project, is it covered? YES! While we do our very best to complete projects without any hitches, there is an element of human error that we are very well prepared to handle. We have a team of dedicated professionals in our Production Department that work hard to ensure any issue that arises is handled quickly and efficiently. We want your home to look better than it did when we arrived, and that INCLUDES taking responsibility for any accidental human error that may occur during the process. That’s part of the integrity that we strive to show on every project, every time. We’ve got you covered 🖤💛 #aspencontracting #humanerror #integrity #wevegotyoucovered

On #811Day, we’re reminding customers and communities that safety begins with a simple call. Whether you're planning a DIY project or a commercial venture, it’s crucial to dial 811 before you dig. Striking an underground utility line can lead to severe consequences, from injury to service disruptions. By calling 811, you connect with Miss Utility, ensuring that professionals mark the location of underground lines before you start your project. Let’s commit to safe digging practices—every dig, every time. Learn more about how to stay safe: http://spr.ly/6047YSIqX

Morning Minute 3/01/24: “Why Following Up is Mandatory!” https://lnkd.in/e6zBSqBc They left an open trench, 5 feet deep, in my backyard! A construction crew dug this huge trench. This open pit extended from our yard, around a lake, into another yard. This began their comedy of errors. A cable firm, had this huge trench dug to replace one of their cables. While digging they cut an underground power line. The power company arrived to repair the break. Overnight, a huge rain storm filled the trench with water. The construction crew had not installed proper barriers to prevent children from playing in the ditch. When I called the company, I was told that they had not dug the trench. Later, their VP called to apologize. The next day their crew installed a fence around their trench. Later, I called to see when the trench would be filled in. I was told the power company needed to redo their repair. After multiple calls, the power company finished this repair. As they filled in the trench, the cable company left a huge mound of dirt next to the lake. Plus, they did not replace the bushes preventing silt from washing into the lake. Two weeks later, I met a construction foreman from the power company. He shared that the two previous line repairs did not meet code so they would have to install a new underground power line. He said the work would require more digging in my yard, and that the repair would take 10 days. He promised their landscaper would be out the week following the installation to repair my yard. That was several weeks ago. Neither the cable company, nor the power company have finished. I will continue to follow up.. I am not sharing this story to gain sympathy. It highlights how all follow-up must be recorded, and used to make people accountable in order to get tasks accomplished. When a problem occurs, here are the required steps. (1st) Identify exactly what the problem is, and what liabilities or dangers have been created by the problem. Start writing notes immediately. They will be your guide to who, when, and how to fix the problem. (2nd) M ake a list of all the parties involved along with their phone numbers and emails. (3rd) Assign responsibility for getting tasks completed. Note who made commitments. When you follow up with these people, they understand that you expect action and communication. If their commitments are not met, use your notes to affect compliance. (4th) Continuously update your notes, communicating with the responsible parties, until the project is completed to your satisfaction. This process, used properly, will make you more effective. Plus, it encourages initiative and responsibility in your team members. And, it gets things done! That is today’s Morning Minute. #leadership #followup #discipline #teambuilding #construction #morningminutes #larryonlearning #larryabonorato #courage #problemsolving #crisismanagement #initiative #Commitment
