Trained Foremen Lead to Greater Profits

By: Todd Hawkins VP of Training and Membership Development and Marie Thornton, Membership and Marketing Coordinator

Have you considered the cost of training company Foremen? More importantly, have you considered the cost of NOT training company Foremen. The inherent cost of time, money and productivity impact your customer relationships, employee performance and the productivity of your electrical installation team. Invest in your workers, or not, either way you pay. Loss of time, money and productivity while you figure it out, or the gain of time, money and productivity as you intentionally prepare your Foreman to make the best decisions for your business. IEC’s Foreman Training, “The Art of Creating Superior Field Leaders” accomplishes just that.

Let’s take a look at this key managerial position in electrical contracting. It is imperative that your Foremen have the ability to listen to customers and problem solve. When an organization communicates with their customer, documents work flow, reporting, safety and material management, it delivers a valued, trusted and consistent service. For the company, the task of perfected job planning leads to an inspired and motivated team which in turn leads to higher job satisfaction for employees through reduced errors and rework.

It’s time to consider your costs. Your investment in training your leadership team develops the skills that inspire improved job performance, dedication and the ability to resolve conflict on the job site. Or not should you choose not to train. The cost you decide to pay is yours. Register your foremen to attend the upcoming Foremen Training courses starting in Savannah on November 11^th, or Atlanta, starting November 14^thand train your Foremen to lead your company to success.
