"Kirk presents the 10 commandments of leadership to first line field supervisors that are immutable and should be clung to carefully. His presentations are designed to be impactful and relevant to the individual class he presents.

 

Kirk has the ability to speak to your foreman, your journeyman, your servicemen, your superintendents, your leadership and yes, owners. He takes our business very seriously, therefore I return that consideration by being deliberate about allowing our people to experience interactions with someone I hold much respect for.

 

Take time and the small investment in your team by allowing them to spend time with Mr. Alter. Your people will appreciate this and you will appreciate the results. Remember: If you thought a trained tech is expensive, see what happens when you use an untrained one."

Owning a business in today’s world can be a lot to deal with. Balancing demands from customers, suppliers, and employees with personal and family commitments can be a challenge. What would happen if you became sick or injured and could no longer work? How would you fulfill your income needs and support your family while keeping your business running? 

Question of the Month: We have an employee who likes to flirt with other employees. So far, there hasn’t been anything too suggestive. We don’t want to ruin our laid-back, casual atmosphere, but the flirting is making some employees feel uncomfortable. Is this considered sexual harassment? What should we do?

 

The 88th Legislature’s regular session convened on January 10 and will continue through May 29, 2023. We appreciate all who engaged with our calls to action throughout session and we have updated the PHCC Texas Bill Tracker, marking bills of interest that are presumably "dead" and those still in play. To keep you informed, PHCC Texas has been sending weekly reports to keep you informed on the 88th Texas Legislature.

Home and business owners go to great lengths to minimize damage and ensure their plumbing systems are safe, efficient and sustainable. When exploring options for installations, repairs or upgrades, maintain peace of mind by hiring licensed. While there's no guarantee that everything will go exactly as planned, hiring a licensed professional will provide increased assurance of protection.
