We intentionally seek out the hidden qualities and skill-sets to find requirements that others miss
I hold the longest unofficial record in the history of Optimized Process Designs for a 2 year, 13-week run with no recordables in the new construction industry. It's team record I'm proud of, that still stands to this day.
Aside from 15 construction certifications, I am renewing my EMT certification, along with my Insurance adjuster license. My days as a first responder gave me a unique insight to human behavior and taught me the value of a human life.
Since 1990 I started taking photographs with my son of my co-workers in EMS, Fire and Police departments. You'll see em posted up around the station.
As an undergraduate, I spent time in Nepal and Thailand where I was introduced to the field of community development. After graduation, I spent a few years in Honduras where I learned and experienced more about community development on an international level.
Returning to the U.S. I began working in Community Development, first in Corporative Extension, and then in Corporate Responsibility.
My master's thesis addressed Corporate Responsibility impacts in Honduras, exporing sustainability certifications and reporting requirements.
I am now looking to further my career in the field of Corporate Responsibility.
At Targeted HR, We bring you the right candidates, right when you need them
The average turnover and absentee rate for manufacturing in the U.S. is 37%. In heavy construction, the rate is 20.1%. As a comparison, the average across all industries is only 3.6%.
This high turnover rate hurts the bottom line, as the cost of turnover can be up to 20% of an employee's salary—$12,000 for an average employee in heavy construction. Plus, finding and training new employees impacts project deadlines.
Let us help you by leveraging our experts, our experience, and our network to find you highly qualified candidates with the right skills and certifications—and just as important—the right fit to stick around for the long haul.
1. A Diverse Workforce Makes You More Competitive for Contracts with Diversity Mandates
Diversity mandates are becoming increasingly important, from federal and state contracts, to membership in industry associations. While many of these mandates are currently difficult to enforce, the trends towards diversity in heavy manufacturing and construction are clear, and having a diverse workforce will make you more competitive for these contracts when strict enforcement begins.
2. A Diverse Workforce Performs Better
McKinsey reports that teams with diverse leadership are 33% more likely to outperform non-diverse teams. Diversity brings with it different perspectives that can inform and improve decision making, leading to increased production and profitability.
3. A Diverse Workforce Allows You to Hire the Right People for the Right Job
Focusing on diversity widens the candidate pool when filling positions, which can help you hire the most qualified workers. According to Gallup, when you remove bias from interviews and hire based on talent, it leads to 70% fewer safety incidents and 59% less turnover.
We work with the highest quality candidates, pulling from our network of experienced construction and manufacturing workers to meet your recruiting needs anywhere in the U.S.
