We don't have a labour shortage. If anything, we don't have enough good work to match the talent rising in our industry! With my experience across multiple companies, I’ve seen diverse demographics within our field. I’ve held tools, opened gates, and shared lunch with many. You don't have to see me as an authority on this topic, but the growing voices in our industry make a difference. Our industry is tightly knit. We’re all connected by one or two degrees. If your company is complacent with safety, stuck with intolerable management, and lacks inclusiveness, attracting talent will be a struggle. Younger generations have taught me valuable lessons about work-life balance, mutual respect, and teamwork—far more critical than a few extra dollars in overtime. Shots fired. This is the new era of construction. I’m grateful for this platform to connect with some of the coolest people in our business. Check out the comments where I’ll tag some excellent construction professionals to follow on LinkedIn. If you have someone in your network you admire, share their profile below so I can follow them and grow our community. #iykyk #construction #getonboard #respect

Water. Rest. Shade. Make your summer safety plans now, because this summer will bring high temps and humidity once again. The OSHA Heat Safety Tool is a great app to calculate the heat index and risk levels on your job sites. https://lnkd.in/gyHbc7P4 #multifamilysafety #multifamilyconcrete #structuralconcrete Kent Companies

Great essential steps in this article for #infrastructure delivery (in this case #bridge): Build consensus, Identify environmental factors early, Collaborate to enhance compliance, Stakeholder engagement, Address natural impacts, Assess risk, Focus on sustainability, and Support successful delivery. Each project and team are unique, and aligning on success criteria is a simple yet crucial aspect that can be easily overlooked. Leveraging #technology seems to be "low hanging fruit" for assisting with each step above. #Collaboration #Innovation

$40/hr people are struggling! Government keeps taking more to support their future voters(Illegal Aliens). When they began promoting/funding women to stay home and have babies decades ago, the institution of family crumbled and with it our America! Did you know the average minimum wage 11 years ago was $7.25 and today? $7.25 The average inflation rate for the last 10 years is 2.65% per year. That’s 26%. This should piss you off🤬 2023 was 4.1 2022 was 8 2021 was 4.7 2020 was 1.2 That’s 18% the last 4 years with only 8% over the previous 6 years combined. That should really piss you off. Keep voting democrat. Build back better my ass!🤬All you’ve done is taxed me to the point of bankruptcy, make my country a retreat for illegals and made it where I can’t afford health insurance without having a 10K deductible all while you guys go into a political office with a self-worth of $30K and are millionaires 2-4 years later. Bunch of frickin modern day mafia band of theives! I’m sick of it and invite a revolution. Clean up the swamp.

As we observe Construction Safety Week in our construction community, it’s truly an important time to reflect on the evolution of safety standards— from mere rules to fundamental principles that define our culture. As someone who has grown up in the construction industry, I've witnessed firsthand the transformation in how we approach safety. It’s deeply ingrained not just in what we do, but in who we are. At Mortenson, we take pride in our leadership role in fostering a safety culture that empowers every individual on every job site. We believe that everyone has a valuable voice and that we thrive when trust and openness spread throughout our ranks. It's about being willing to listen, learn, and voice new ideas, especially when they contribute to our zero-tolerance policy on compromising safety. Here are some straightforward ways each of us can contribute to sustaining a culture of safety, no matter our role: 🚧 Speak Up: Never hesitate to voice concerns or suggestions regarding safety. If something seems unsafe or if there’s a new method that could enhance safety, bring it forward. Your input is invaluable. 🚧 Stay Informed: Always be aware of the latest safety protocols and participate actively in safety training sessions. Knowledge is not only power—it's protection. 🚧 Look Out for Each Other: Safety is a team effort. Watch out for your teammates' well-being just as you would your own. If you see someone working in an unsafe manner, be proactive and offer a gentle reminder of safe practices. 🚧 Embrace Safety Gear: Always use the proper safety gear for your tasks. This is non-negotiable and a simple way to prevent many types of injuries. 🚧 Lead by Example: Whether you’re on the ground or in management, lead by example. Adhering strictly to safety practices encourages others to follow suit. 🚧 Foster an Open Environment: Encourage a workplace where safety discussions are an integral part of the daily routine, not just a checkbox on a to-do list. Safety isn’t just another responsibility—it's a cornerstone of our community at Mortenson. It’s everyone’s job, and by committing to it, we not only protect ourselves, but we also safeguard our fellow workers and contribute to the overall success of our projects. Together, let’s keep building a safer environment where everyone can perform at their best. Happy Safety Week, friends! #safetyfirstlast&always #dotherightthing #leadblualways

This week Team Tomko presented a lessons learned session to an owner and contractors group considering multi-trade mechanical racks on an upcoming project. Below is a great representation of what the thought process should look like in the pre-construction phase of a project, when analyzing the use/benefits of multi-trade racks. #BIM #teamtomko #multitraderacks

It is essential that leaders integrate and demonstrate the purpose, vision and values of the organization in their words and actions. It is important that leaders develop and coach others. This requires self- awareness, social intelligence and consistency.

FREE Fall Protection & FREE Lunch - Construction workers make up approximately five percent of the country’s workforce but account for an average of 19% of all job-related fatalities each year. In addition, falls account for the greatest number of fatalities in the construction industry, especially among small businesses and businesses with Hispanic workers. Over the past 10 years, at least, an average of 359 workers were killed from falls, slips, and trips, and nonfatal injuries and illnesses that resulted from falls, slips, and trips occurred at a rate of 31.4 per 10,000 full-time workers in 2020.  Join Associated General Contractors of America & Carolinas AGC for a one-day training, two opportunities, June 13 or June 14, 2024, 8am - 5pm.

Having a title doesn’t mean the work is done . That title means you have to work even harder. How you act, speak, and most importantly, treat people becomes more and more important the bigger the title gets. Be mindful in your actions, be honest, and be authentic! These are the things real leaders do. #Leadership #Beauthentic #Realleaders
