Introducing a new co-host, new look, and a new line-up for Season 4 of Limbach Unlocked!

We have project managers and trade managers here at this Company, but have you ever heard of a combined project and trade manager? This unique role is just like our speaker today - one of a kind. Darius Fugate from our Jake Marshall branch in Tennessee explains what it takes to wear both a PM and Trade Manager hat in his day-to-day, sharing insight into best practices for both roles and ways that we can better understand each other from office to field and field to office.

How do people make a difference in an organization? For many it’s by joining an Employee Resource Group. These groups gather together based on shared characteristics and life experiences, but they’re open to anyone. They provide support, enhance career and personal development, and create a sense of belonging. One of our leaders in the Florida business units took it upon herself to do just that for the Company’s Hispanic population and those who want to ally with and support this demographic. Idalmis Roman, HR Business Partner, joins us today to talk about what it takes to start an ERG.

We talk a lot about leading teams of people, but what about leading leaders? With us today to unpack what it means to lead leaders is Harper Limbach President, Nick Angerosa who explains his take on leadership and what it takes to strategically lead a multimillion dollar business.

The generation of technology, DEIB, and an accelerated career path is with us in the workforce. Generation Z entered the working world recently and brought with them an expectation that we’d all do well to consider: can we do it better? faster? And more efficiently? Here to help us figure out how that mindset plays out in this early stage of their career are two members of our organization who consider themselves to be in Generation Z.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging (DEIB)… all words you’ve probably heard more frequently in the past 5 years than ever before in your life. But like with anything new, you probably have some questions. Some good news? We have answers. Gretel Swartz, Learning Program Manager and the Vice Chair of the 2023 Embrace Forum, is here to share an overview of what these words mean, how they impact our business, and to debunk some common misconceptions. Learn how Gretel and her peers are prioritizing our People as we move forward with the Embrace (DEIB) Forum, Embrace Committees, and Employee Resource Groups in 2023.
