"A few things that I love most about working at KGDR are the work/life balance, the fact that there is no micromanagement and the constant reassurance that I am doing a great job. I have never worked for a company where I didn’t have to stress to take my kids to doctor’s appointments or worry about asking for time off to go to one of their daycare parties. Being able to be present in their lives other than the weekends and a couple hours afterschool is invaluable. Additionally, I love that I can do my job and ask for help if needed but am trusted to do the job well enough on my own. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, I am thankful for the amount of confidence that KGDR has instilled in me since joining the team. I always second guessed myself before and didn’t trust my instincts but each time I interact with our leadership at KGDR, they assure me that I am doing a great job and am worthy of all of the kind words received. For these things, I am forever grateful!" #employeespotlight #kgdr #womeninconstruction #projectmanagement

There are several ways to avoid feeling the urge to take shortcuts. ➢ Preplan your work tasks to ensure that everything you need is available including tools, training, personnel, paperwork, and safety equipment. ➢ Take hazards seriously. Understand the risks associated with your work activities know the consequences of unsafe behavior. ➢ If a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) or other pre-work hazard assessment is required, do not skip this step! Every project may have unique risks and it’s important to identify all the hazards before work begins. ➢ Recognize when you may be rationalizing that it’s okay for you to cut corners and fight the urge to take the easy way out. Hold yourself accountable to following the safer process. ➢ Make safety a habit and be a good example for your co-workers. If someone on the team is not following through on the safety aspects, then others assume it’s fine for them to skip those steps too. ➢ If you notice newer employees starting to take shortcuts, remind them not to skip the important safety steps in the process. Be firm, positive, and encouraging. ➢ If you are unsure of the correct and safe way to complete any task, speak up, and ask! #jha #toolboxtalks #safety #construction #kgdr
