Would it change your work life if you could work for a plumbing company that paid top dollar, gave you the opportunity to progress, valued your input, provided training, showed genuine appreciation and was just good fun? For most the answer is a big FAT YES ,but finding a (plumbing company that gets how to treat people right is seems harder than it should be…so what gives? BEFORE I TELL YOU ABOUT THE JOB and the type of person we’re looking for I want to tell you my story – as I’ve been where you are now.

I used to work for my old boss to my own high standards, but often went home at the end of the day feeling unappreciated. I got little thanks for what I did, or feedback on how well I did it. There was little or no communication. We barely met together as a team to see how we could improve as a company. I felt that the boss was too busy to listen to my ideas and after a while I stopped speaking up. There didn’t seem to be much opportunity for growth or to move up. And there wasn’t much in the way of training or money spent on improving our knowledge about new products or systems. We all just slogged away, doing the same work day in and day out.

I thought changing jobs and earning a bit more money could help. The extra money was nice to start with, but I wanted more than just a pay check. If this sounds at all familiar you’ll be happy to know it doesn’t have to be that way.

Here’s why,

We’ve been in business for 40 years and to be honest, in those first few years we were just another company that tried to hire people for an extra dollar rather than really looking into making our business a great place to work. We realised we needed to look inside the company for change – to become the best plumbing and to create the kind of workplace we could be proud of, and that people genuinely enjoyed working at.

So, we did it better.

We have grown skilled and motivated team of plumbers who are in it for the long term. With everything we do we focus on our core values, company culture, communication and we invest in training to continually upskill our staff. We challenge our team to be better than the rest, to provide the best service to our clients. We meet regularly to discuss jobs and workloads, how we can improve the business and our team’s working experience.
The biggest change has been that we know sharing our success and thanking people for their hard work is vital to have a great team. We know it can be daunting to move on. Perhaps you are comfortable but how long are you happy to carry on feeling unfulfilled? Maybe you’re moving and want a fresh start? Or maybe you are thinking ‘what if it doesn’t work out? We hear you. But if like me you have a sense that you’re worth more, and you believe in doing things better, then now might be the right time to make a change.
