#543 Dealing with labourers in a labour shortage with Luke Obrzut of Transform Masonry Group Inc.
Luke tells us about managing poor work ethics, training people with skills from other countries, earned patience, and the difference between a bricklayer and a mason. We discuss keeping tools from relatives, nicknames of the trades and what the hardest trade is on this episode of The Construction Life Podcast.

Rules, compliance, regulations - these are all super critical things! We use tools that require high safety standards, we have to meet compliance and regulations at all times - not just for governmental issues, but actually if we don’t - we’re risking our own employees. Every tool requires a different kind of training and understanding of how to operate it safely, every rule needs to be fully understood, who’s qualified to do certain jobs and who’s not, hazard reports - all these are important things we managers must take care of to keep safety high at all times!!
Now, getting it done is way harder than talking about it, but luckily there is a platform I’ve found that can help out with everything I just mentioned!
A great software called Connecteam - which has training and quizzes that you can build in any way you’d like to make sure your employees always know how to handle certain tools, you can see who’s done a certain course of quiz, who didn’t complete it and can’t work with a certain tool until they do. You also have the ability for an update if there’s a new regulation you need everybody to be aware of ASAP - and also an easy overview screen to see who saw it. Plus, their schedule allows you to add limitations for certain jobs, so if one of your employees is not qualified to do a certain job, the system will automatically notify you about it. The platform offers a lot more - such as easy access to playbooks, or hazard reports - just check them out for yourself.
Connecteam has a free plan and a 14 day free trial, try them today by checking out the link in the show notes.
