There is so much focus and recruiting and just getting people in the door, but keeping the best ones is essential.
I am a huge preacher that it is more than compensation that keeps people around (I have my own research to back this) but that doesn't mean compensation isn't important.
I get asked a lot about ways to think about compensating that actually improve recruiting and retention. In this episode we discuss way ways to design compensation so it actually makes an impact on showing up our talent pool.

Over twenty years ago I felt pretty isolated in this industry. I was young, I was a woman and I was blessed to have great mentors...but they were all men.
I didn't even know I was craving for a woman to look up to and model what it meant to be a woman trying to make an impact and finding my place. It was even hard once I had a family and began to juggle even more.
Finding and getting connected with the incredible founders of Women of Asphalt, renewed my excitement about really stepping up and showing up for an industry that has done so much for me, my family and the country.
Every time I get a chance to connect with and learn more about the stories of these women. ConExpo gave me a great opportunity to not just hear more of these stories but to also bring them to you.

The Heavy Highway Construction industry has always had a stubborn streak.
-Just ask my husband who has to deal with my whole family-
Think about some of the leaders you know and love in this industry. Where did they come from? I grew up with a different believe about how people develop into leaders than most people my age and I believe that as a gift.
Shawn Brost, Vice President of Vance Brothers, is a perfect example of a story that is at the core of the leaders that have influenced the infrastructure we drive on.
This is a great story to share with our HR departments and inspire them to find within our own businesses. Beyond that we should be looking to write more of these stories.

Bringing a new innovative solution to the Heavy highway construction industry isn't for the faint hearted. It takes tenacity, creativity ,and a whole a lot of grit. This is the insights from an industry leader that saw a need, searched for an solution and when he couldn't find what he was looking for.... well he built it.

The creation of the Traffic Pro Bed was due to necessity. Skip Torornik owns a traffic control company based at Frederick, Maryland, servicing the DC region.
He started 30 years ago in the industry and you sat on the tailgate of a pickup truck and there was no real requirement what it took to do traffic control.
Nobody put any thought behind it, but as the demand of traffic control picked up and the regulations on highway projects increased, there has been a gap in solving this critical issue.
Maybe you have a product or solution in mind or already on your roster that could get some fresh inspiration from Skip's story.
