A detailed job description will help effectively measure jobsite performance.
I am quite certain that most of you will agree that the majority of jobsite foremen in every trade that you encounter are not properly trained for that critical position. Common sense tells you that foreman training is very necessary, but it is only a good start. After your foremen know what to do and how to do it, you must then keep score to provide the ever-so-critical recognition and appreciation. How long would anyone continue to give 100 percent effort without it?
Your foremen can effectively measure each of their employee's performances because they constantly tell them what to do, how to do it, and work with them side-by-side. But you do not have that convenience to motivate, measure and score your foremen, nor any of your other supervisory and administrative staff.
