FORESIGHT
Culture - now more than ever - seems
to be quite the buzz word in many
organizations.
According
to
Inc.
magazine, “Corporate culture refers to the
shared values, attitudes, standards, and
beliefs that characterize members of an
organization and define its nature. It is so
critical that a company’s success or failure
may be predicated on how well it practices
these core values.” In a great company’s
culture, employees trust leaders, have a
sense of pride in their work, and enjoy their colleagues. The culture
serves the strategy.
Since 1979, Hedrick Brothers Construction has believed that culture
is the most powerful factor in an organization. Our foundation
principles were established and have remained unchanged: be
relational, maintain the highest level of integrity, deliver quality
construction, and keep our commitment as strong at the end of the
project as it is at the beginning. Our team is dedicated to preserving
these core values and work ethic that define the environment of
Hedrick Brothers Construction. It can be defined as “the collective
way we do things around here.”
Here are a few ways in which our culture is going strong:
Growth
The Inc. magazine tagline is, “The Magazine for Growing
Companies“ — quite appropriate for the growth experienced by
Hedrick Brothers Construction in the past years. As the leader, our
team is counting on me to make smart decisions from financial to
whom we do business with and even doing something because it is
the right thing to do — these decisions directly affect all of us. We
have grown both in talented employees and in jobs. I encourage
you to read about many of our projects on the following pages and
the teams bringing them to fruition.
Raising Our Game
We are always challenging each other to “do better” and take it to
another level. Here are a few examples:
• Building more construction teams for consistency in market
sector projects.
• Mentoring: Our next generation is in the office and at the job
sites watching, observing and learning.
• Continually integrating technology into our daily work including
the use of Virtual Design & Construction services and Procore
construction management systems. These cost-effective
systems improve our processes even more and increase
efficiencies, ultimately benefiting our clients.
Community
Our company and employees continue to “give back” whether
it is through donations of time and talent, in-kind, monetary
contributions, or materials. It has been a busy season!
Hedrick Brothers Construction is underwriting the construction of
a new home through a donation to support Habitat for Humanity
of Palm Beach County’s affordable housing effort in memory of my
father Charles, who was a long-time volunteer with the organization.
Even better, one of our team members, Noe Gonzalez, and his family
had applied to the Habitat program. When the Habitat staff realized
he worked at Hedrick Brothers, they thought it would be perfect to
use our gift to underwrite his new home! Our amazing employees
will also be volunteering hours to assist in the building.
Fun
We recently hosted the HB Family Fun Day for employees and their
families. It was humbling to see the direct effect that this company
has on the lives of so many people, and it is a perfect example of
our culture.
The impact this company has on hundreds of lives in our community
— from constructing buildings they work, live and play in, to
volunteering and providing employment — is inspirational for all of
us to do even more and strive harder to preserve this culture that
we have created.
