Continuing with their annual tradition, The NEWS announced the winners of the 2011 Best Contractors to Work For contest. One of only four national winners (one from each region of the United States), BelRed was honored for creating a work environment that not only nurtures employees but also provides them with opportunities for growth and development.
BelRed was The NEWS’ choice from all Western states because of their commitment to integrity and the company’s core values. “This is a huge honor for us”, said Don Millard, President of BelRed. “You can get so caught up in the day-to-day struggle to run a company, especially during difficult times like these, that you forget to recognize what you do really well.”
According to Millard, “BelRed is a leader in our industry because of our employees. We work hard to make this a great place to work and grow. Our team members know that they will share in the company’s success, and that they are rewarded for their own performance.” BelRed has found success by hiring for attitude and training for skill. According to Millard, “We have an extensive in-house training program for all of our technical, sales, and support staff. Beyond the thousands of hours of in-house training we provide each year, we also offer tuition sharing or reimbursement for our staff to further encourage professional development.” Once hired, BelRed provides a career path for employees who desire one, striving to promote from within whenever possible. This not only helps with retention, but also helps them to attract the best possible candidates from the outset.
In addition to offering talented individuals exceptional career opportunities with room for advancement, competitive salaries, and exceptional benefits, BelRed recognizes the need for balance in the lives of all of its’ team members. In addition to generous paid-time-off, they have structured their service work and on-call schedules to minimize the impact on our service technicians. By working 4/10’s, each of technician gets at least three days off per week. In addition, they are only on-call two days in any calendar month, in an industry where technicians can often be on-call two or more days per week.
As a result of all of this, BelRed has been recognized as “The Best Contractor to Work For” in the West!
