ESOP shares are subject to vesting requirements and are held in a trust account until an employee retires or leaves the company.

Workforce Development

NCCER is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) education foundation created in 1996 as The National Center for Construction Education and Research. It was developed with the support of more than 125 construction CEOs and various association and academic leaders who united to revolutionize training for the construction industry. Sharing the common goal of developing a safe and productive workforce, these companies created a standardized training and credentialing program for the industry. This progressive program has evolved into curricula for more than 70 craft areas and a complete series of more than 70 assessments offered in over 4,000 NCCER-accredited training and assessment locations across the United States.

Stewart Richey shows its commitment to employee development by investing in specialized training programs. We believe in developing each member of our team through multiple avenues, such as craft training and certification, leadership development, and safety awareness.

Stewart Richey will strengthen the talent within the company while providing employees with a clear development pathway.

Program Goals

  1. To accelerate development & advancement of our next generation leaders
  2. To create a pool of ready-now leaders for critical positions 
  3. To maximize contributions of our highest potential people
  4. To increase retention of future leaders

Culture

We use Dr. Steven Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People as our foundation for growth and development.

  1. Be Proactive
  2. Begin with the End in Mind
  3. Put First Things First
  4. Think Win-Win
  5. Seek 1st To Understand, Then to Be Understood
  6. Synergize
  7. Sharpen The Saw

We provide ongoing support to leadership as they develop a culture of personal and professional self-accountability based on the 7 Habits. With a common language, shared principles and transparent goals leaders are able to empower teams of individual employees to meet operational goals without "bossiness."

          

 

Recruiting & Retention 

Stewart Richey partners with educational systems in the communities where we operate by providing internships, apprenticeship programs, and sponsoring in-school programs to cultivate talent and provide skill-specific training and tools. Once hired, Stewart Richey seeks to retain and develop each employee by making a career at Stewart Richey the perfect experience. 

     

Talent Development 

Developing new employees, seasoned veterans and others who are identified as future leaders of the company is at the core of our workforce development strategy. Managers are responsible for identifying employees who show promise as future team leaders and be given appropriate training to assume leadership roles.  In 2012, the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce raised $1.8 million to install the The Leader In Me education system (the school-age version of the 7 Habits) in all Bowling Green and Warren County schools.  Businesses that use the 7 Habits will have a competitive advantage recruiting graduates for jobs because they have learned the 7 Habits in area schools.
