People make the difference at MPW

Google Search returns 185 million results
for “people make the difference.”
Many of the top results are lists of motivational quotes and blogs on business
websites.
Perhaps it’s this abundance of information that produces audience members
who zone out and drool with boredom and
cynicism whenever the topic of employee
motivation is mentioned.
Or, in a bizarre manifestation of irony,
maybe it’s the method in which supposedly
motivational material is introduced that creates indifference among the masses.
At any rate, when an organization as successful as MPW Industrial Services has
a list of legitimate success stories and
awards, how does the company communicate these stories in a way that avoids
trivializing the accomplishments or getting
lost in the Sea of Motivational Jargon?

prevent a serious quality issue for MPW’s customer in

Cory Hanna, a Health and Safety Supervisor based in Hebron, received MPW Industrial Services’ 2013 Safety Professional
of the Year Award at the company’s safety
conference in June, 2014. Hanna began
his MPW career in May, 2013.
MPW’s Executive Management Team
would like to sincerely thank Mark, Christina and Cory for their excellent work. Their
consistent, exemplary efforts are a testament to the culture of safety, efficiency
and customer-service excellence that fuels
every ounce of this company’s success.

MPW offering paid CDL training program to its employees
MPW Industrial Services is all about offering solutions — not
just for its clients, but for its employees as well.
Since many MPW employees are looking for opportunities to
grow within the company, and the company needs qualified
commercial drivers, this particular solution was practically selfevident.
then report to an MPW-approved clinic for a DOT physical,
study the first four sections of the packet, obtain the CDL permit through their local BMV, and schedule Hands-On Training
with Corporate DOT.
MPW corporate training lasts two weeks (weekdays only) for a
minimum of eight hours per day.
MPW’s DOT Trainers Aaron Thompson and Fred Reed have
updated the program and formalized a process and curriculum
to help employees obtain their Commercial Driver’s License
[CDL]. John Schouster previously organized CDL training before being named Chief Security Officer in February.
The training will cover the following:
• Pre-Trip Inspections
• Backing Skills
• On-the-Road Driving Skills
• Hours of Service/Logbooks
The program will train internal candidates in order to reduce
hiring costs, lower turnover rates, and increase productivity.
MPW expects applicants who complete this program to continue their employment with the company for at least one year
after passing the CDL Skills Test. MPW will cover the costs
associated with the training as long as the employee makes a
commitment to continue working for MPW.
After candidates complete the Hands-On Training, Corporate
DOT will schedule the CDL Skills Test with a local BMV (outof-state employee) or Roadmaster in Columbus, Ohio (in-state
employee).
Corporate DOT will provide candidates with training packets
upon request from the candidate’s manager. Applicants should
