  Revolutionize Your Business: Transforming Company Culture for Unbeatable Employee Retention

   Employee retention is a complex puzzle that requires a multi-faceted approach. By providing a comfortable and safe workspace, creating autonomy for employees, celebrating their achievements, providing opportunities for growth and development, and fostering a positive company culture, you can create an environment where employees feel valued and supported, leading to increased loyalty and long-term commitment. Here are some key strategies to achieve these goals: 1. Make them comfortable.  According to Occupational Health & Safety Magazine, extreme heat "can reduce the energy, focus and passion employees can dedicate to their tasks." Discomfort that crosses dangerously with workplace safety in extreme climates needs to be addressed by facility leaders and planned for ahead of the seasonal changes. Employee retention is a crucial aspect of any successful business. Still, creating a workplace where employees feel a sense of loyalty and are motivated to advance their careers can be challenging. It requires a combination of factors, including a comfortable and safe workspace, opportunities for growth and development, and a positive company culture. At Cambridge, we approach every initiative with a lean mindset, which means eliminating waste ...

• Growth Starts With Humility

  Our organization has embarked on an employee engagement path that has literally caught fire throughout the company. Several Cambridge Engineering, Inc. production managers embraced the LEAN philosophy espoused by Paul Akers in his book, 2 Second Lean: How to grow people and build a lean culture. Our production team’s focus from the beginning has been on training people how to think differently. Many sophisticated books have been written on the LEAN topic. Paul’s book is not one of them. Paul details a path towards employee engagement that everyone can understand. As leader of the sales team, I have watched the trans-formative power of a LEAN mindset with our Ops team and have been inspired to apply this thinking to my life. While our operations team has a head start in embracing these teachings and this thinking, there is a powerful message at the very beginning of the book that applies to all leaders that are considering the necessary strategies and tactics to grow their business, grow their market share, increase pipelines, improve closing ratios or improve processes and flow ...

• Your Customers Define Your Value; Customer Advisory Boards provide the framework to listen

  Truly understanding your customer’s needs and the value they place on your products and services is paramount to success in business. Defining and refining your value to the customer takes total organizational alignment. Alignment around the importance of the information and collaboration around collecting it, communicating it, and acting on it are vital. [caption id="attachment_199" align="alignnone" width="300"] value concept handwritten on blackboard[/caption] Customer Advisory Boards are a great way to engage the leadership in your own organization. They allow you to capture candid feedback on measuring existing corporate value statements against your messaging across the company. Are your value statements landing? Do they resonate with the people receiving them? What would your customers say is most important to them? Customer Advisory Boards provide three major benefits to an organization. 1. Deepening Relationships with Customers 2. Understanding Your Customer’s Value Language 3. Identifying Your Product/Service Gaps Deepening Relationships: People do business with people they like.

• Is it “Heating & Ventilating Technology” or “Ventilating and Heating Technology?” That is the Question!

  As our clients navigate HVAC system design for high bay facilities such as distribution centers or industrial manufacturing plants, they are often asked to recommend a design that accomplishes 3 key deliverables. 1.) Meet variable ventilation requirements 2.) Meet heating requirements / (Consider air load and conductive load and comfort requirements) 3.) Evaluate redundancy to eliminate production and/or service interruptions As a manufacturer of high efficiency heating technologies (S-Series, SA-Series, Infrared) and ventilating technologies (M-Series, M-Series w/Cooling) we first seek understanding regarding how the building will be operated in order to recommend a heating platform, a ventilation platform, or both. While the core technologies are both 100% outside air, direct fired gas heaters, there are differences in system performance that will impact EE (energy efficiency), thermal comfort, and system installation cost. When there is a high level of CFM being exhausted due to processes inside a manufacturing facility, making up that building air loss with mechanical ventilation or inbound CFM is critical to balancing the air load of the building. Direct Fired Make-Up air systems with variable air ...
