Culture
Capital: Materials, Paving and Construction fosters an environment of transparency and sets clear goals to set teammates up for success. “We are no strangers to the “Work hard, play hard, stay humble” mindset,” said Jayme Wilburs, who works in marketing and design. “We celebrate big wins, and our people are our biggest win!”
By attracting and adding like-mind teammates, the company’s culture came about organically and is now carried out intentionally. To ensure the culture is steadfast, open communication is paramount with Capital teammates from day one, with a promise of honest feedback and celebrations of jobs well done.
The team at Capital excels through maintaining the foundation of their five core values:
• Safety
• Quality
• Integrity
• Innovation
• Loyalty
Socially conscious now and into the future, Capital has made it a priority to use innovative solutions to better the industry. The company is continuously looking for ways to implement new practices, educate its teams and utilize the most environmentally friendly products. Capital is also committed to the next generation of construction leaders and has initiated several educational programs, such as Kids Rock and Capital Academy. There are also several opportunities for teammates to get involved in charitable work or community activities, whether volunteering at the food bank or an industry association event.
Up front honesty
“When we find a potential teammate that we know would be a great asset to our team, we are persistent in letting them know how their skillset will positively impact Capital,” said Wilburs. “We make it a priority to be open and honest with them and answer any questions or concerns they may have. We believe that authenticity is often perceived well and creates an immediate foundation of trust.”
Incentives
In addition to a full-benefits package, Capital also offers an employee referral program with the belief that current teammates are the best way to attract like-minded talent who embody those core values. As a thank you, the company offers a bonus for all referrals who are hired on. Employees who embody Capital’s core values are rewarded through the Capital to the Core program, where they are recognized internally and externally in addition to a bonus incentive.
