Labor Retention At Work for San Marcos Civil Engineer and Builder Dick Miller, Inc. commute, associating wear and tear from your job on his vehicle. So that might impact his decision to take the next job with you.” Treat Employees Like Extended Family, Truly Help Subcontractors Understand Fringe Before San Marcos-based Dick Miller Inc’s President Glen Bullock hires someone for a job, he tries to understand what it’s like to walk a mile in their shoes. Or drive 50 miles through SoCal traffic in their truck. Location, Location… Once upon a time in Southern California, if a worker was located 40 miles from a job it didn’t concern anyone that much. Then, the worst traffic in the U.S. struck - doubling the next region’s commute time. “If Prime Contractors pay a worker an hourly rate to sit on the I-5 or the I-10 while driving to a job site? Well you already know that can be hard on the bottom line.” says Bullock. “But even when he is off the job, your worker may be banging his rig along surface roads on a To Bullock’s way of thinking, just as an extended family may not appreciate long car rides to weekend events, your field shouldn’t have unnecessary stress just to do the jobs you bid. Otherwise, your worker may assume you aren’t organized or mindful and then start to evaluate other jobs or primes. Today, employees have options. In trimming the actual financial cost in transit alone, Bullock looks first to organizations to help locate solutions next to his job sites rather than just staffing companies. Next, he taps people within the community who share his commitment to workforce development. In San Diego County, three emerging geo-locators https://mailchi.mp/0855848ce64e/northcountybuildersexchange#header are North County Builders Exchange, South County https://mailchi.mp/0855848ce64e/northcountybuildersexchange#header Builders Exchange and East County Builders Exchange, which offer invite-only groups on LinkedIn. https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12324214/ Greater Los Angeles-area Builders https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12324214/ Exchange launches at LA Build Expo These groups exchange free information between Developers and Primes to find jobs, workers, and materials next to sites and connect to concept phase and project sources.

social media. You can request to join, and typically there is a light vetting conversation. Exchanges coordinate additional workforce development capabilities through non-profits local to the field. Bullock was able to find not only closer field to his job site, but also closer administrative support services for his headquarters. Retention Matters - So Invest in Education for the Next Generation. This really is priority #1, according to 2020 industry polls. The 2020 Hiring and Business Outlook on AGC.com survey, says a remarkable 72-75% of contractors view “worker quality” and “worker shortages” as their top business concern. What’s more, an astonishing 81% of surveyed contractors are having a hard time filling some or all positions. That’s why Bullock not only supports continuing education for his workers - but within his community as well. “You’d always congratulate any family member on their decision to pursue a new degree or certification right?” says Bullock. Esteban Montoya, Project Engineer at Dick Miller feels being supported for advanced degrees means that his employer cares about what happens to him beyond just when he is on the clock. “When we offered him the job, we wanted Esteban to know his success gaining a Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering from an East Coast institution would translate here with us first,” said Bullock. “Even more so, we want him to know that we are supporting his Masters Degree in California, because to him, Dick Miller should feel like a good home 10, 20 or even 30 years out. We believe in him and view him as a key to our future success.” Booth # 512 Call for a FREE ESTIMATE 949-333-3711 Showrooms: 1350 Reynolds Ave, Ste 117 - Irvine, CA 92614 31149 Via Colinas #603 - Westlake Village, CA 91362 SPECIAL LOS ANGELES SHOW EDITION 2020 19
