AD INDEX NORTHEASTERN EXPOSURE 23 – 2 ENGAGEMENT IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS Good people make the di erence between providers, suppliers, services and just about all forms of business. It is the people that often spell the di erence between success and failure, good jobs and bad jobs and good relationships and poor ones. At Northeastern Supply, we hire, cultivate and mentor our employees to be the best for our customers, with 300 employees serving 32 locations, and we constantly look for and bring up quality people to help YOU. Please see the article about our six newest branch managers, beginning on page 10, and come on in and meet them at your convenience. One thing we have found that works for us, and that will work for YOU in your businesses, is employee engagement. We make sure that our employees are engaged ... both with us at NE and with YOU, our customers. An "engaged employee" is defi ned as one who is fully absorbed by, and enthusiastic about, their work and so takes positive action to further the organization's reputation and interests. An organization with "high" employee engagement might therefore be expected to outperform those with "low" employee engagement, all else being equal. If you develop a culture of employee engagement, once employees understand their roles and what is expected from them, and have the requisite personal and technical skills to handle their jobs, their input to your company can be invaluable. When we train and educate our workers, engaging them more fully in how to accomplish future work is a win-win. scoo@northeastern.com by STEVE COOK President/CEO It's Always The People Construction began in November 2016.
