Schlouch Incorporated enjoyed a well-balanced portfolio of new business in residential, commer-cial and the public sector during the latter part of 2015, keeping the company’s fleet active through-out its market area. The company continues to focus on bringing its full range of capabilities to the table and to provide value-added service on time and on budget. Here are a few of the projects keep-ing Schouch’s teams productive through the fall and winter months:

Berks CountyThe Township of Muhlenberg

Berks County, PA. Schlouch is providing survey, stakeout, earth-work, sediment/erosion control, storm sewers, water line installa-tion, roads, concrete and paving.

Getting BetterIn Better Times

by Barry SchlouchBoth my personal goal and our

collective goal at Schlouch Incor-porated is to get “better in better times.” That’s just our nature and the core value of our culture. We are not satisfied to sit back and ride the crest that good times often bring. Instead, we see these better times as an opportunity to hone our current skills while learning and develop-ing new skills. Our goal is to get better with each day to advance our team and deliver even better service and value to our clients.

As a company we have always concentrated on training our peo-ple in the skills they will need to do their jobs and the skills they will need to advance their careers. Toward this end, here are a few of the new training packages we are offering our team:Measuring Up As A Leader

Emergency Response has become an important part of the services offered by Schlouch. Above a Schlouch team responds to a waterline break on State Hill Road in Wyomissing for PA American Water Company.

Outreach Program that focus on leadership, goal setting, growing and repairing trust, managing change and emotional intelli-gence. This isn’t the first time that Schlouch has turned to the mili-tary for special leadership insight. General Gronski brings a whole new perspective to the training of leaders in business and his sessions are well-attended.Safety Trained Supervisors

Safety Trained Supervisor Con-struction (STSC) certification pro-gram, sponsored by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals, pro-vides higher standards and a means for individuals and employers to verify safety and health knowledge important for first-line supervisors, leaders and any person with safety responsibilities. Schlouch has al-ways stressed safety in every aspect of our work and has nine certified safety professionals on staff. Our safety huddles on each job site ev-ery morning are well-known in the industry. Now, our STSC certifica-

tion program is just one more step toward maintaining an ultra-safe working environment. As always, our goal is to have every one of our employees arrive fit and go home safe every day.Keeping Fit

In addition to staying safe, Schlouch supports all of its em-ployees to be fit and healthy. To this end, Schlouch brings in a fitness professional to conduct regular wellness and fitness train-ing and exercise programs for its management and staff. Employ-ees are shown ways to improve their well-being through exercises

that can be done at home or in the workplace to give them a little ex-tra boost when facing their day-to-day responsibilities. Schlouch also offers each employee and spouse an annual biometric screening to know their numbers and online health risk assessment to prevent illness.

These are only a few of the learning and growing programs that Schlouch makes available to its team. I like to say at Schlouch, “The race for continuous improve-ment has no finish line.”
