Becoming employee centric construction company is difficult but achievable

We all want to work with a company that not only provide us with
good growth but also takes interest about the welfare of its
employees. Companies that provides us with good perks and
facilities are hard to get by but if we ever land up in such a
company we may not want to leave it unless and until we have a very
strong reason for it. Companies on the other hand are focused on
earning profits. They are ready to provide their employees with
basic benefits that they are supposed to as per the guidelines laid
by the law of the land but there are absolutely not ready to take
the extra step to look after the welfare of their employees. They
understand that their relationship with their employees is quite
professional and they should not add anything more to it. This is
the story of almost every industry irrespective of which sector one
belongs to. If we talk about construction companies, it is harder
to find an employee centric company, a company that takes
initiatives keep into consideration the betterment of its
employees. But the point remains is it really so difficult for a
construction company to think for the betterment of its people, the
same people who works all day in the scorching heat of the sun and
does not complain when there is storm and heavy rainfall and tries
to remain punctual even when there is snow on the roads. These
sorts of guys should be rewarded with bonuses and extra pay and
this is absolutely not difficult to do. A little raise in their
salary or a monthly incentive can bring a big smile on their faces.
In addition to this, you can also provide them with free medical
insurance. In this case, they do not have to pay the premium of the
insurance and will be covered against all ailments (as per the
policy of the insurance company). The insurance companies will be
more than happy to offer discounts on the insurance premium if the
insurance is taken in bulk. So in this way, you get your employees
covered against ailments and also against any accidents that happen
in and outside the jobsite. If they want to add their family
members as part of the medical insurance they can do so by paying
the premium from their pocket. What you can try to do for them is
get the premiums discounted so that they pay an amount that suits
their budget. All these features can also act as a good retention
policy as well. Your employees will not leave you just because they
have found a company who is ready to pay them more than what you
do. That company may not provide them with these additional
features which will act as a binding force and will kind of compel
them to not leave your company. You only end up paying a little
extra but in return you can enjoy the loyalty of your trusted
employees.
