Employee Spotlight of The Week!

"Shout out to Ashley for her efforts with staffing and constantly checking on me!

She's a breath of fresh air!!"

- Brent Carpenter, Field Manager

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Good Day All,

It has been a very busy and unprecedented year for ProVantage. COVID took the country and our industry by surprise, but after a brief delay, our teams responded quickly to a large volume of work. Through your efforts and commitment, ProVantage experienced a record number of employees working from June through September to meet the surge in demand for our services. The rapid increase in business, after a short furlough period in Q2, fueled dramatic growth in our employee base and placed pressure on tenured employees to deliver quality services shift-on-shift as we brought new talent onboard. The hard work, flexibility, perseverance, and sacrifices of our employees are greatly appreciated. We cannot sustain our success without your commitment to our purpose and values. Thank you for all that you have done, and continue to do, for your teammates, our company, and our clients.

Our business is a cyclical one, meaning we see periods where we have a large number of projects in-flight and times when client work decreases greatly. Traditionally, our ‘slow period’ occurs during the holiday season due to a majority of our clients choosing to hold off on remodels/resets until after the new year so they may focus on maximizing business during the holidays. We are now approaching that period.

The good news is that we have continuous work with a few of our clients during this slow period, but unfortunately it is not enough to provide assignments to our entire workforce. We realize the impact that a lack of assignments has on our employees and our goal is to keep as many employees working as possible. Our approach will be to match available employees to project openings with preference being given to those employees who:

⦿ Have solid attendance records

○ Accept greater than 95% of their assignments

○ Average less than 1 call out per month

○ Have 0 no call/no shows (NCNSs)

⦿ Have an overall grade average above 3.0

⦿ Have experience with the client that has the work

⦿ Have experience with the type of work to be performed

The travel distance from the employee’s current or home location will also be considered. In all cases, our focus will be to field as strong of a team as possible for each client engagement.

With the slow period quickly approaching, we recommend all employees prepare for a shortage of work heading into the new year. During this period consideration should be given to:

⦿ Securing seasonal work outside of ProVantage until our workload increases

⦿ Applying for unemployment to help offset your financial needs

⦿ Visiting family and friends to recharge after months on the road

⦿ Scheduling medical exams or vehicle maintenance to ensure both body and equipment are ready for the new year

Scheduling will be communicating periodically to keep our workforce informed of upcoming work. As project openings surface and employees are matched to the work requirements, the Scheduling team will reach out to confirm availability before sending out an assignment. There is no need to email, text, or call Scheduling looking for work. Simply monitor your ProVantage email regularly for updates and return any calls promptly.

Should your personal email address, home address, and/or primary phone number change, please ensure you let our HR team know of these changes. In addition, please keep an eye on our FaceBook, Instagram, and LinkedIn pages, and take advantage of our Rosewood University offerings and Leadership Live events.

Again, our goal is to keep as many employees working as possible. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

The great news is that we have a very strong pipeline of projects beginning in the new year and we expect that we will need to ramp up quickly to meet that demand. As that time nears, we will keep everyone informed. And we ask that when the call comes, please be ready to hit 2021 refreshed and eager to contribute.

Many thanks and stay safe.

BR/

Scott J. Medeiros, Executive Vice President of Operations

There's no "I" in "team"

We Before Me is a core value we like to highlight.

Having that core value has helped us achieve great results by working together with collaboration and cooperation.

We’ve all heard it’s important to be a team player, but what does it really mean? Foremost, it means working for the good of the team, rather than your own individual goals. And, that means dropping the personal pronouns—because as you know, there is no “i” in teamwork!

Nobody wants to work with someone who is wrapped up in their own accomplishments and always looking out for number one. To work as a team, you’ve got to abandon the “me, myself and I syndrome” and see yourself as one part of a unit—each one fulfilling a specific role to reach a bigger goal.

A team player is someone who...

Understands their unique role and those of their team members
Capitalizes on each other’s strengths to accomplish objectives
Does not view themselves as more important than others
Attributes equal value and weight to each members’ contributions
Is respectful toward others, despite differing opinions and personalities
Is reliable when they make a commitment to get something done
Does not sit idly by while others bear the brunt of the work
Is ready to pitch in when another team member needs support
Willingly shares their knowledge and expertise with others
Views successes as a collective effort

Take the time to consider this list and identify any areas where you may need to grow. By becoming a great team player, you will open yourself up to many new opportunities!

Happy Workiversary to these team members!
