When bringing on new hires at landscaping firm Stay Green Inc., President Richard Angelo has heard stories about how other companies couldn’t provide equipment as simple as a shovel without filling out multiple forms.
That’s not how things are done at his Santa Clarita company.
Stay Green has an unwritten policy of doing everything to make it easy for the field crews to get their work done.
“We don’t make it harder where you have to fight to get everything needed to do the job,” said Angelo, who runs Stay Green with his wife and son.
Providing the best equipment and vehicles to use, and uniforms to give a professional appearance keeps up the morale at Stay Green. A workforce with good morale takes pride in their work and feels more productive.
Angelo knows this by what he sees on a daily basis but quantifying it in hard numbers is another story altogether.
Angelo has never tried to track the results of policies and benefits that make Stay Green a good place to work but said it sounded like a good idea.
Dan Stillwell, a principal at Burbank graphics house LAgraphico doesn’t think it is possible to put a finger on what the company does for its employees that translates into an improvement on the bottom line.
Like Angelo, Stillwell sees it in the attitude of the workers who are not shy to point out how to improve efficiency and care about making the team better.
“It is intuitive that you know that’s the case,” Stillwell said.
