Last week three SC&RF WORKFORCE AMBASSADORS shared during the SC&RA's Crane & Rigging Workshop session - Strategies for a Winning Workforce.
✨ Dave Hull shared the story of how Brooke House was founded and how Manitowoc supports this nonprofit and also trains and employs the women who come out of the program.
✨ Meghan McNally spoke about McNally-Nimergood's involvement with a variety of local community groups focused on getting the next generation into the trades, her classroom visits, and field trips to their facility.
✨ Kristin Chose from Ideal Crane talked about large-scale collaboration within a community to build awareness for the trades and the crane industry - Kids Building Wisconsin - attracting 10,000 attendees.
Key Takeaway 🔑
A company culture that values giving back to the community, benefits your company beyond brand recognition. Employees are proud to work for a company that is active in the community whether it's sponsoring sports teams, fun runs and supporting their efforts to visit schools or participating in collaborative efforts to bring trades to the forefront for students.
- Pro-Tip: T-shirts in youth sizes are very popular! If you don't currently hand those out - you should start.
