Each short service worker at GROUP begins the process with
a 4.5-hour orientation session that includes a presentation by company
officials and an opportunity for employees to ask questions.
“We talk about the SSW program from an executive standpoint,
so the employee truly understands the culture here from the
top down,” said Rusich.
SSW mentors
According to Rusich, mentors for short service workers are typically
long-term GROUP employees who have been identified as
site safety mature persons and have completed classes on safety
and other continuing education courses. They can be superintendents,
foremen or even lead workers, depending on the size
of the project.
Each mentor will typically meet with other supervisory
and site safety officials during the short service worker’s 30-day
evaluation period to discuss his or her progress, Rusich says.
Justin Tassin, GROUP’s workforce development manager,
says the company is considering approaching third parties to
provide specific instruction for the mentor/coaches in its SSW
program so that they can have additional tools at their disposal.
“We’re looking at options right now to offer our mentors
that training,” he said.
Sedotal maintains that the SSW program has been wellreceived
by GROUP employees, in part because it relies heavily
on positive recognition.
“What we’ve learned is if you go out there and shake that
employee’s hand and thank him/her for doing a good job, his/
her morale is going to go through the roof,” he said. “The SSW
program, along with the other programs that we’ve implemented
to boost morale and really bring out that positive recognition,
has done a great deal of good for our safety culture here at
GROUP.”
Sedotal says further proof that GROUP’s SSW program is
working well lies in the workplace safety results.
“I think we have seen probably a 60 percent decrease in
short service worker incidents since the program was implemented
two years ago,” he said.
