Employee Spotlight of the Week!

Shout Out of the Week: 

Andrea R., Scheduler
Ashley M., Schedule Coordinator

 

"I would like to shout out the construction services scheduling team for stepping up when we had an emergent need for support. On Thursday, 19 August 2021, the ProVantage team had a sudden loss of manpower that left no one to take care of the per diem needs of our field teams. Andrea Razor and Ashley Mathhues immediately stepped up to ensure these tasks were taken care of, without letting any of their normal tasks suffer.
 
Thank you to Andrea and Ashley for not only discussing our core values but also exhibiting and living these values. "

 

- Nick Lay, Director of Construction Services

Tips for Staying Healthy on the Road
On the Road — Your Action Plan
1. Bring smart snacks.
Fill a cooler with ice or cool packs and load it with plenty of nutritious, easy-to-eat snacks like low-sugar yogurt cups (choose plain or Greek to avoid mega-doses of sugar), string cheese, fresh fruit, homemade granola bars, cut-up veggies and hummus, healthy trail mix (keep track of portions to stay out of danger food territory), unsalted nuts, dried seaweed snacks, or preservative-free meat jerky.
 
2. Choose water.
Bring a few reusable (BPA-free) water bottles and fill ‘em up at every rest stop. If overnight lodgings include a freezer, chill bottles while you sleep for ice-cold H20 all day long. Avoid soda and creamy, sweet coffee drinks, which pack unnecessary sugar and fat and (if caffeinated) actually contribute to dehydration.
 
3. Stretch your legs (and shoulders and neck).
Stop frequently (at least a few times a day) to get out of the car, move around, and do a few stretches. The hip flexors, lower back, shoulders, and neck are most likely to tense up after a few hours at the wheelTrusted Source. If the road runs along a national park or other hiking terrains, consider making a pit stop every once in a while for a short walk in the woods.
 
4. Don’t forget the SPF.
No trucker burn here! Windshields and windows might keep the bugs out of the car, but they don’t fully protect our skin from the sun. Slather on some broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher at regular intervals to keep skin safe.
 
 
5. Keep eyes on the prize.
A good set of sunglasses is essential to protecting the eyes from the sun. Exposure to too much sunshine can damage vision and even cause certain kinds of eye cancers. Light-colored eyes are often more sensitive to light, so blue, green, or grey-eyed guys and gals should take special care to protect peepers from the sun. Bring along a pair of high-quality sunnies that protect against UVA, UVB, and HEV light. A polarized pair can help cut down on glare, making driving safer and more enjoyable.
 
6. BYO gym.
No treadmill? No problem. Pack sneakers, gym clothes, and small exercise equipment like resistance bands or a yoga mat to turn any quick stretch break into a mini-workout. Print out (or save on a smartphone) plenty of bodyweight workouts for hotel rooms or mornings when other road-trippers are moving slowly.
 
7. Practice perfect posture.
Especially if driving for more than one day, comfort in the driver’s (or passenger’s) seat is essential. Adjust the seat and bring pillows and seat supports to make the car seat as comfy (and ergonomically correct) as possible. Sit up tall and take frequent breaks to roll the shoulders, stretch the neck, and realign posture.
 
8. Stay engaged at the wheel.
Don’t just sit there like a bump on a log! It’s not exactly an hour-long cardio-fest, but even when sitting in traffic you can suck in the abs and squeeze the glutes to keep muscles working.
 
9. Choose meals wisely.
There are only so many carrot sticks a person can eat before hankering for a real, hot meal. From fast food drive-ins to gas station markets, road food is notoriously unhealthy. For a lighter meal, look for grilled items, plenty of greens, and don’t be shy about asking for a sauce on the side.
 
10. Get plenty of rest.
“Drowsy driving” isn’t just unpleasant; it’s downright dangerous. Get off the road when feeling sleepy or alternate drivers to keep fresh eyes on the road at all times.
 
11. Keep the brain active.
What’s a road trip without a bumpin’ playlist and plenty of off-key singing at the top of your lungs? The tunes make the trip, but an audiobook or podcast can help pass the time when travel buddies are too tired for a sing-a-long. Everyone will learn something new, exercise their brains, and a bit of new knowledge or an interesting story will make the miles fly by.
