Healthie’s Post

After 40 years of working on the road, I secured a job three hours away from my children and grandchildren. This is a significant phase in my life. ARCO Murray in Downers Grove, IL, will be greatly missed. I have many positive things to say about this company. They treated me like a family member and did not micromanage their Superintendents, unlike many companies today. While not all companies are like this, many smaller companies tend to hire Directors of Field Operations with little practical experience, who often arrive on-site expecting to find mistakes. This is one of the reasons I speak so highly of ARCO Murray. Their executives call ahead before visiting a site to ensure availability. Few companies operate this way anymore, and if you find one, it is advisable to stay. Over the past 40 years, I have witnessed significant changes in the industry, some positive but many negative. My advice to younger Superintendents is to thoroughly evaluate a company, just as they evaluate you. If a company has a high turnover rate, it is best to avoid it, as you may come to regret it.

Growing slow but smart is key in building healthy, sustainable (long-term) companies over time. Like planting a seed and watering and caring for it every day 💚♻️ #sustainablegrowth #sustainability #hållbarhet #tillväxt #startups

Secret Santa has something to say for you... We have numerous opportunities to play the role of a secret Santa. Imagine the impact we can make by lending a helping hand to our coworkers, and offering support when they least expect it. Whether it's assisting with a challenging project, sharing valuable insights, or simply being a positive presence, these small gestures can make a big difference in someone's professional journey. One powerful way to be a workplace Santa is by secretly praising our colleagues in front of their bosses. Acknowledging their hard work, dedication, and achievements can not only boost their morale but also contribute to their career growth. Let's create a culture of appreciation and recognition, ensuring that every deserving individual gets the credit they deserve.
