In this episode of the Sparky Life we dive deep into the current ideals and approaches to building crews and apprenticeships in the skilled trades. Join us as we welcome back the incredible Chessa Trimble, a sister Sparky, to discuss the challenges and opportunities in the construction industry.
We explore the concept of "tough love" in training and whether it truly produces great employees. Chessa shares her personal experiences and insights on the importance of positive reinforcement and constructive criticism in fostering a productive work environment. We also touch on the impact of workplace culture on employee retention and performance, backed by research from the University of Warwick and Harvard Business Review.
Discover the significance of creating a supportive community in the trades, the need for change in outdated training methods, and how to empower apprentices to thrive in their careers.
Tune in for an engaging conversation that challenges the status quo and advocates for a more positive and respectful approach to training in the skilled trades.
