Why Our Family of Employees Is Our Most Important Asset This Christmas & Always

How Heart For Family Has Built A Sustainable Family Business

If you ask most people, pay is not the most important reason they stay with a company. There are other very important factors that help create a culture that builds fulfillment and long term relationships in a business. Don't get us wrong, good pay is important, but we have learned that building a culture where people feel welcomed, appreciated and taken care of on top of competitive pay makes a huge difference. At McMains Roofing we embrace a culture and spirit of family!

Importance of Building A Family Culture

Regardless of how our employees respond to our culture, we would function with a heart of taking care of our people, its who we are. However, we have seen a clear and measurable result that building a family culture impacts our day to day operations and ultimately the product and service we offer our clients. The bottom line is people that feel positive about their career are going to put their heart and soul into it, your going to get their best. If they feel they are just a number, they are going to show up and do the bare minimum to collect a paycheck, and that will end up in the product of our end user. 

Employee Longevity 

One of the critical areas that are impacted by having a strong culture of appreciation is employee longevity. If you come to McMains Roofing you will find that most of our employees have been here for many years ranging from 5 to 20 years. This bleeds into the work we do for the community! Due to the fact that we do not have a revolving door our service platform is both excellent and predictable. We can control the quality of our roofing installs in a way that those that use sub contractors or go through several crews are not able to do so. 

Bottom line, we invest into people! 

Ways We Invest Into Our Family Culture & Family of Employees 

Christmas: Every year we make a big deal about Christmas! From company parties at Great Wolfe Lodge to huge Christmas parties, we make sure our employees and their families are pampered during this special time of year. 

Other Holidays: During most major holidays of the year if you come to our office you will find it decorated and ready to hosts our family of employees. This gives us the opportunity to keep things light and fun which helps us to build a relationship with our crews and their families beyond the job site! Big results!

Another great thing we do is take our employees out on trips! We rotate through our staff and take them on amazing adventures that are life changing. Fishing trips in Lapaz, Mexico, guided hunting trips in Idaho, Washington and Oregon, Nascar in Vegas to name a few. This ensures time away from the workplace that they and their family might have never done on their own.

 

All of the events that we do to create a family atmosphere are quite the investment, but having a poor company culture with unhappy employees is more costly! 

We are grateful for the people we have and the relationships we have been able to forge and are committed to continue on our path to creating the best family owned roofing company in the Puget Sound area. 

​HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
