Celebrating Our Team Members In Their Own Words

construct connect

In the U.S. and Canada, March 1 is observed as Employee Appreciation Day – a time to express gratitude for the people committed to delivering value each day for their employers, customers, and colleagues. At ConstructConnect, that “People First” focus is an inherent part of our company culture. Each day we are truly thankful for our team members, who are dedicated to ensuring that every construction project starts on a solid foundation.

Recently we asked team members who have been with ConstructConnect for more than 20 years to share why they have been motivated to build their careers here. Their responses often reflected an appreciation of each other. As we celebrate our team members on Employee Appreciation Day, here is a look at what some of our team members appreciate about each other – in their own words.

“I love being at ConstructConnect because of the energy and brain power of all the employees here focusing on the future of estimating and bidding for the construction industry. The entire company stays focused on how to improve how bids are done and jobs are built.” – Greg Duyka, Sr. Product Training Specialist
“The Canadian Tender Team is a very tenured team, many of us have been working together for 10+ years. It is a relationship of respect and support. But, whether we have been working together for two years or 20, each of them has shown that they are dedicated and cooperative; I am proud to have had the opportunity to work alongside them for so long.” – Melinda Rideout, Manager, Research
“We are an office family that cares for and supports each other in our work and personal lives. Working alongside good people makes the workplace better.” – Maggie Cadeau, Editorial Associate
“I have always been respected, valued, and felt so much support. I have learned so much from so many! …I love this company so much that my daughter, son-in-law, my niece, and my daughter’s friend all work with ConstructConnect now! BEST PLACE TO WORK!” – Dena Johnson, Sales Coordinator
