What’s the Point? Well, Read On The Days Are Cold and Long, and Work Is Slow …
As we navigate through the slower months in the construction industry, the pace can be frustrating. Fortunately, as Employee Owners, we can take advantage of the breathing room to invest in our futures! Whether you’re in sales, operations, administration, or another role, there are opportunities to upgrade your skills for the coming season! Cross-Training Opportunities Consider exploring cross-training opportunities within the company. Embrace the chance to learn new skills or deepen your understanding of different departments. This not only enhances your versatility but also fosters a more collaborative work environment. Customer Engagement Initiatives For those in sales and customer-facing roles, focus on strengthening relationships with existing clients. Reach out to them, understand their needs, and provide
personalized assistance. Building strong connections during the slow season can lead to increased business when demand picks up. Optimizing Operations Efficiency Operations and fabrication teams can use the slow season to fine-tune processes and identify areas for improvement. Evaluate equipment, streamline workflows, and implement efficiency measures that will pay off when demand rises again. Professional Development Invest in your professional development. Attend workshops, webinars, or training sessions related to your field. This proactive approach not only bolsters your skill set but also positions you as an asset to the team. Collaborative Projects In McCall, our door shop crew was often volunteered for improvement projects in the
store. Lately, we’ve been able to integrate team members from admin, sales, and the warehouse in repairing sheetrock, doors, painting, and ventilation. We’ve even helped in the yard with some of their projects! Community Involvement Allow yourself some time to engage with the local community. Participate in community events, volunteer initiatives, or sponsorships. Strengthening our ties with the community not only reflects positively on our company but also creates potential business opportunities. While some of this work may feel different, this is how we can live out our 2026 Vision Guide principle and be a learning and problem-solving organization. Investing in yourself and FBS go hand in hand.
