Our Culture Culture of Learning, Development, and Leadership CAREER PATHING Our success is driven by our strong career development programs, expanded opportunities, and unmatched construction resources. The culture of the company is a product of our core values: honesty, integrity, teamwork, and a commitment to excellence. These principles guide our operations and establish Kokosing as a benchmark for the construction industry. Kokosing strives to have a culture of engaged team members that take the initiative to continually improve through daily learning. In our culture, it is commonplace that all team members are coaching and developing team members. It is expected that supervisors dedicate a portion of every day to coaching and developing their team. We have elite leaders at all levels of the organization. CULTURE Kokosing fosters a culture of learning, development, and leadership. Our team members have defined opportunities to further their skill sets to enhance experiences and leadership capabilities for future opportunities. Kokosing’s customized development programs include structured education programs, individual development dialogues with management, and on-the-job learning opportunities. New supervisors attend the New Supervisor Program which is facilitated by experienced supervisors. The content is adjusted to focus on the New Supervisor’s operations and the vast amount of resources available within Kokosing. PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATIONS Construction work requires a specialized skill set to perform certain aspects of the work. Kokosing values its team members and their expertise. Professional development is supported and encouraged so team members can enhance their skills through a multitude of professional licenses and certifications. MENTORING PROGRAMS Team member career growth is enhanced by our unique mentoring programs. Mentors will help familiarize you with Kokosing’s work processes and culture. This dedicated approach to your development will provide you a competitive edge and will provide room for individual growth. During the onboarding process, our supervisors mentor new team members by building a connection, providing support and adding clarity within our culture of learning, development, and leadership. KOKOSING UNIVERSITY Kokosing University was established with the goal of accelerating, measuring, and recognizing team members’ performance. This web-based portal allows team members to access over 100 online and in person curriculum of education, experience, and exposure training. The easily-accessible portal enables information learning and sharing through interest groups. OPERATE WITH LEADERSHIP The Operate with Leadership (OWL) journey was designed using a simple framework to help team members understand how to be a more complete, effective leader. The sessions focus on how building trust within your team helps achieve results. Team members explore beliefs and behaviors, expertise and coaching skills, communication styles and how to interact within teams. QUARTERLY CONNECTIONS On a quarterly basis, each team member meets with his or her supervisor to discuss goals, learning opportunities, career development, and leadership. The goal of these interactions is to prepare team members to take on growth opportunities, grow our bench strength to take on future opportunities, and enhance our competitiveness in current markets. WOMEN’S IDEAS AND STRATEGIES EXCHANGE The Women’s Ideas and Strategies Exchange (WISE) is a mentorship program that brings female team members from across all Kokosing companies and roles to share experiences and knowledge for personal growth and professional development. This program echoes our Core Values of having concern for team members, while continuously improving and taking on new challenges. The formula for this program allows participants to network with other females within Kokosing, while also receiving professional development programming, tools, and resources. ACCELERATED DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM The Accelerated Development Program (ADP) is a development course that targets up-and-coming team members who exemplify our Core Values, initiative, and dedication. The program expands participant’s understanding of our company including business education, team-building, and executive management. Participants work collaboratively to develop new processes to continue elevating the way Kokosing delivers construction projects. ADVANCED LEADERSHIP PROGRAM The Advanced Leadership Program (ALP) is a development course that brings together respected leaders in their respective roles to advance their position by exposure to people, concepts, and roles outside their fields. This program introduces participants to the fundamentals of all the companies under the Kokosing umbrella, enlarging their understanding of our business. Individuals benefit from connecting with people they otherwise may never meet, enlarging their networks and resources. Kokosing benefits with new, collaborative solutions to the current challenges of our industry. FORM SHOP TRAINING PROGRAM The Kokosing Form Shop not only provides formwork for our job sites but is a stepping stone for individuals wanting to get into the construction industry. Here individuals will learn our forming systems, help put out a quality product, and explore the different opportunities available within Kokosing. Team members not only get hands-on experience with the various form systems, they are exposed to the safety culture and standards we have set forth. The Form Shop Tree of Growth is a wall recognizing individuals who have come through the Form Shop on their journey by taking advantage of its unique opportunity.
