People-first: The Scaffolding of a Thriving Team

We partner with construction organizations of all sizes to build their people. But what does that really mean? 🤔

As general contractors, we understand the need for owners and clients to have someone in their corner who will make their vision come true. So, think of us as your general contractor for all your people projects. 

When there’s looming deadlines, a tight budget, and trade partners to manage, the question remains:

How will all these moving pieces work cohesively, efficiently, and effectively to get the project across the finish line? 

We help our clients do this by aligning people-centered training initiatives with business goals at hand so all the moving pieces mentioned ☝️work cohesively, efficiently, and effectively to get the project across the finish line. 

Our most effective (and favorite) approach to do this with our clients is our P.E.O.P.L.E. framework (can you tell we’re in the people business?!). 

Broken down, P.E.O.P.L.E. stands for: 

P: Professional Development for Company-wide Growth

E: Employee Growth Planning for Individual Skill Enhancement

O: Onboarding: Fast-track to Success

P: Progression Planning: Tailored Roadmaps for Career Advancement

L: Leveraging Processes and Procedures to Maximize Consistency

E: Engaging Future Hires: Attracting Top Talent to Keep a Thriving Team

Combined, these concepts are key to building an engaged and thriving team. 

We’re just breaking down the P in P.E.O.P.L.E. here, but you can plug into our framework and learn how to build your thriving team at our upcoming in-person event!   

Professional Development for Company-wide Growth

Think of professional development as five training buckets: leadership/soft skills, technical skills, technology skills, certifications, and in-house processes. 

From a professional learning perspective, aligning your training and professional development to your company’s business goals and objectives is key to achieving results. 

Once you’ve determined out your organizational goals, you can place your company goals and objectives into each bucket. Now for the fun part!

Think of professional development as a puzzle where you discover how to schedule these programs to be a well-balanced approach for all your employees. 

Speaking of professional development programs…

Dive Deeper into the P.E.O.P.L.E. Framework: The Thriving Teams Roadmap 

The Thriving Teams Roadmap is a two-day intensive workshop that gives leaders the tools to build an effective team. Think elevated performance, productivity, and quality of projects.  

In just two days, you will: 

  • Explore how to align training initiatives with the goals at hand. 
  • Dive deep into our P.E.O.P.L.E. framework and understand how to build out professional development opportunities for your people. 
  • Discover how to leverage processes and procedures, even at the smallest level, to enhance consistency for your team and clients across the board. 
  • “Flip the script” and focus your attention on the processes and relationship building that will help you achieve your organization’s bottom-line results. 

You’ll also have a supportive network to bounce ideas off and find solutions to the challenges that keep you up at night. 

This workshop is ideal for two employees within an organization (think company culture advocate and operations leader) ​​in the construction and subcontracting sectors. 

Join us on June 11 and 12 in Boston for this in-person experience. Registration ends on Monday, May 20, so save your seat today!
