Can you learn CULTURE from an electrical contractor?

How relentless focus on a CULTURE of SAFETY grew Encore Electric from startup to 900 team members. 

 “Our people know: If you don’t feel safe, then say so.  Stop the work and ask the right questions… the idea is stop and think.”

Willis Wiedel, President, Encore Electric

I became aware that Encore Electric was recognized as the TOP company nationally for safety.  That’s a big deal, and not a reason I’d want to interview its CEO. 

I asked for an interview because I was (and remain) impressed at how a relentless focus on culture, in this case a culture of safety, achieved great organizational results.  Regardless of your business or industry, you’ll find this interview interesting and instructive.
