February 2017
Greetings!
Looking
for great employees to grow your team? Who isn't!
With unemployment at a 10-year low, 2017's biggest challenge will be finding
loyal team members to get all of the work done.
Start your recruiting efforts with these "out of the box" ideas:
Set-Up Scouts: Let your network know when you are looking for new
people. Your customers, associations, community organizations and more
may know someone who is looking for a position. Tip: Be very
specific about your needs and requirements so you get only the best referrals.
Community Bulletins: Many churches, schools
and community groups offer job boards or announcements. Use them.
Vocational Programs: Be sure to get to know
your local instructors and get your job openings shared with their graduates.
Temporary Services: For office team members, temp-to-perm services
allow you to get to know candidates before you make a hiring decision.

5 Rules for Recruiting & Retaining Employees in a Highly
Competitive Market 1)
Make a list of reasons
why a candidate should choose your company. Making a
list will make these easier to remember when you're chatting with a good
prospect. Remember everyone says "they have great
benefits" or "this is a great place to work". Be
specific.

A Tool To Train Your New Employees You've
hired a new employee. Now what's your plan? Getting new employees up to speed in a way that doesn't take a
big chunk of management's time is a common problem. Management wants to be,
and should be, focused on other things. In fact, most managers dread having
to train, but how else is it going to get done? It's possible to send them to
in-person trainings. But what if it's the wrong season and there's no
trainings available? Our Online Training Portal offers a solution! Available 24/7
all year-long, your new employee's can begin their training on their own and
get up to speed quicker with little to no supervision. Tracking is available,
so you can assign courses to be taken and receive reports on what has been
completed. Learn more about the

Bull BBQ: The Story Behind The
Industry's Best In 1992, Mark Nureddine & his partner began with an idea
to develop a business creating the deliverable "Outdoor Kitchen
Concept" out of their garage. Today, over 23 years later, Bull Outdoor
Products Inc. has grown immensely, and reached widespread prominence in the grilling
industry. Of the many reasons for
Bull's success is that they have thoroughly researched the grill industry to
bring to the consumer products that are 'second to none!' Bull's AWARD
WINNING GRILLS are designed engineered and master crafted with the finest
materials available. All of the grills are CSA Gas Certified. Bull's research in the grill industry has become even more
cutting-edge, utilizing engineering experts at California Polytechnic to
create the new ReliaBULL technology. Typical grills feature unpredictable
heating across the surface. New ReliaBULL technology was created to eliminate
uneven heating on your grill, making your outdoor grilling experience
extraordinary. With its superior products, facilities, and team, Bull
pioneered the concept of outdoor barbecue islands, recognizing the need for
backyard barbecue enthusiasts to bring their grilling talents to match those
of professional chefs! |

How Non-UL486D Listed Connectors Put You at Risk It's just a twist-on wire connector, how different could one
really be from the other? The answer is miles apart. Especially when working
in potentially wet, damp or direct bury locations, using a connector that is
UL 486D Listed is fundamental to the integrity of the connection and the
functionality of an overall irrigation or lighting system. Choosing a non-UL connector can really put a contracting
company at risk. Here's how:
King Innovation's DryConn®
Black Series Wire Connectors have the coveted UL 486D Listing. They have
endured rigorous testing to confirm they are completely waterproof,
direct bury, corrosion proof, UV resistant and compliant with all UL 1838
landscape lighting systems. Take a look at the video to
