The 633 Construction team now starts every morning with BuildWitt Improve, where they watch a video lesson, then facilitate a quick discussion. In only 5-10 minutes, they have a single lesson they can think about and implement throughout their day’s work. Repeated for weeks and months, the process not only teaches everyone how to perform but also builds essential camaraderie that would otherwise not exist with typical one-dimensional toolbox talks.
“We downloaded the app together, and the next day everyone showed up having watched the video. We had a great conversation about it — and I knew it was working.”
Wins have included practical training for team members who have never walked onto a job site, financial training for younger team members who are still learning to be adults, and relevant training tailored to whatever task they’re performing that day.
“We’re diverse in what we do. If we’re doing asphalt tomorrow, I can say, ‘Here are three videos you should watch.’”
With BuildWitt Improve fully implemented, momentum is now building for the 633 team as their learning culture grows. With better camaraderie and conversations about becoming better every day, learning and teaching moments are naturally happening.
“I walk by and hear, ‘This is how you use a grease gun.’ Carlos told me he had 17 teaching moments in one day.”
Adam knows the limiting factor to his company’s growth is his workforce, and while building a workforce from the ground up is more difficult in the short term, tools like BuildWitt Improve are making it a reality. With their culture and team member development moving faster than ever, it’s exciting to see where the 633 Construction team will be in only a few years!
