The most important thing for me is that, in five years’ time, K2 Electric is still a great place to work...
“ Our prefabrication facility focused on the industry trends toward modularization, in particular, will continue to be significant for our business; because project schedules are becoming more challenging, skilled labor is in short supply and certain market sectors require that capability. As an organization, we believe that, to remain competitive in the future, this capability will be absolutely necessary. As electricians age out and we have less folks coming into the industry, we need to modularize and prefabricate to simplify and speed up the site installation work.”
Positive workplace
Set to further enhance its operational efficiencies, K2’ s lean methodology initiatives will be rolled out across the company, particularly within its prefabrication division. The lean methodology will utilize onepiece flow production, which will promote easier, safer practices for employees whilst continuing to provide customers with the very best electrical solutions.
Such programs and initiatives, of course, all circle back to K2’ s four core values, which are centered around fostering a positive and supportive workforce.“ Our core values fully translate into our daily operations. First of all,‘ Safety Is Essential’. This one comes first for a reason. If we can’ t do something safely, we stop right there. This is incredibly important across the organization, especially with our field craft team members,” Jared explains.“ From our K2-34 awareness program to the continuous training of our dedicated safety team, prioritizing health and safety is not a task to accomplish, it’ s a part of who we are.
