Life at Blum
Blum Construction is dedicated to a company culture built on feedback, personalized development plans, coaching, and innovation.
Feedback
Feedback is critical to an employee’s personal and professional growth and development. At Blum, we have developed a system of continual feedback. Employees are able to interact with their supervisors on an ongoing basis to get feedback regarding how they are doing with their day-to-day activities. Twice each year, formal feedback sessions are held with each employee, their supervisor, and company management to provide feedback regarding how they are doing within their current job description and personal development plan.
Personalized Development Plans and Coaching
At each of the bi-annual feedback sessions, each employee’s personal development plan will be reviewed. These plans, developed by the employee with input from management, attempt to provide two roadmaps. The first is how the employee can be the best-in-class at his or her current job. The second is how the employee can “climb the ladder” to the next step in their career. Supervisors and company management will serve as coaches to ensure that each employee has the opportunities and resources necessary to reach their full potential.
Innovation
Blum Construction has a long history of innovation in the construction industry and is seen as a regional leader in the use of virtual technologies and building information modeling. Tablet computers and total stations are being utilized on our jobs to put the technology directly into the hands of employees in the field, where they are being used to drive efficiency and quality on each of Blum’s unique and challenging projects.
