Nobody I worked in the field with enjoys working here. - Field Technician SAM Companies Employee Review

At SAM, employee safety and engagement are of the utmost importance and numerous channels of communication have been implemented for information sharing. Safety practices are taught and reviewed in on-boarding training, weekly safety meetings and daily hazard analysis discussions. Included in the training is instruction on the reporting of any incidents, near misses or general concerns related to safety. Employees are encouraged to report these situations to their direct supervisor, safety department and/or human resources. SAM investigates all reported matters and takes prompt action to remedy incidents, deficiencies or concerns as part of its corrective action and continuous improvement programs. To encourage open employee engagement and input, SAM conducts regular anonymous employee satisfaction studies, individual employee performance discussions, has an open on-line suggestion box where all suggestions are considered by Executive Management and encourages employees to meet with an HR team member if they have a matter they cannot resolve with their direct manger. For continued employee improvement, SAM conducts annual performance evaluations and managers are to provide a final evaluation within 30 days of receiving the employee’s self-evaluation. There are times when performance reviews are not completed as timely as we planned. We continue to review our performance evaluation process to find ways to improve. SAM also monitors, considers and takes action on input from third party sources, like this one. SAM continues to increase sales and revenue and expand our geographic coverage through organic growth and acquisitions. Growth and acquisition have associated challenges, and SAM works to provide a safe, rewarding environment for employees while pursuing business goals. SAM’s benefit package, and employee events have been consistently highlighted as positives in employee feedback, we regularly evaluate and implement new policies and programs for employee benefits, and we have been identified as a Top Workplace for the past eight years.
