LEADERSHIP
You do not need to be in management to be a leader. What do leaders do? Leaders lead .
Consider how you can personally lead, every day. Become aware of those around you, and how you can impact them, then lean into the challenge! Take ownership of your job and the impact you have. The safety of our associates and anyone on our job sites is of upmost importance to Century, if you see something say something! As the leader of your new home community, you are responsible for your entire job site, this includes creating the culture on your job site. Take this responsibility seriously and lead as you wish to be led. It may surprise you how your actions, both positive and negative, can have an impact on those around you. SETTING PROPER SAFETY EXPECTATIONS Just as we set expectations with our buyers, we should set appropriate expectations with our trade partners/ suppliers. As the leader of your community, this becomes your responsibility. Take time to meet with each trade foreman to set expectations for safety. First and foremost, it should be clearly understood that safety is our #1 focus. Every trade partner/supplier on an active job site is expected to wear a hard hat and tie off when working six feet off the ground (twelve feet in California). Additionally, set the expectation that your trade partners’/suppliers’ work needs to be per the plan/scope, up to Century’s quality standards, and the job site needs to be left clean every day.
SAFETY OVERVIEW
Every Century associate is responsible for helping create and maintain a safe and healthy working environment and thus is considered a Century Safety Officer. If you work at Century and are on a job site and see an unsafe situation, you are responsible for either mitigating the unsafe environment or immediately contacting another Century associate who can. Safety is of first and foremost importance at Century. The work we do is dangerous, and if certain precautions are not taken, serious injury and even death could occur. Century is committed to the safety of all our associates and trade partners/suppliers while at work. Each division has a Division Safety Manual, a Division Safety Officer, direct access to a 3rd party Safety Consultant, and a National Director of Safety.
