Where do you find employees? How do you recruit? How do you retain them? All great questions that are consistently asked. Most of the time we are finding guys and gals from current employees, online posts, or the fact that the neighbor kid needs some work. This works to a point but it doesn’t help us grow a mainstream presence or grow a larger reach for our industry.
Jim Tsigos of Tsigos Construction in Delran, NJ has been in construction for 24 years. No stranger to hiring people, he has had the same struggles as all of us. He has however, found a way to give back to the industry that provides for himself, his wife and two kids. Jim regularly volunteers at the local vocational school and other places to educate those around him. This knowledge is pulled from being a master carpenter, certified tile installer, and more. Giving back to his industry has been the most fulfilling thing Jim has done and produced the most fruit.
Listen in to this weeks episode of the Floor Academy Podcast to learn how you can give back to your community to improve your industry.
