A WORD FROM JASON REDMAN

Hello Team,

I am always excited to pen a note to you all.  I hope this newsletter finds you well. 

I attended a very interesting course last night at the kid's school which sparked a thought.  The course was on alcohol and drugs.  If you will, an action plan.  Put simply:

• Do what you say you will do
• Be a leader for your peers and your children, and a role model who can show respect to your family, your company and yourself.

It was a resounding message.  There is nothing wrong with not drinking.  It can be 'the normal'.  I know it sounds  contradictory  to where I come from.  Due to the statistics with ages between 12-15 year olds, 65% do not drink and have not had a drink.

The vital message was that if you are a non drinker you will lower rates of mental illness, have a better chance of being cancer free and reduce numerous other health risks caused by alcohol.  I challenge you to bring some evidence to the contrary?

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. Show discipline at work, at home and look after yourself and your work mates.  Be a person that is good company to be around due to clean and healthy living.  It will change your life.  

Reds Global are constantly looking to be on the cutting edge by investing in training our team, providing team uniforms and  by having the best team of people around.  You can rest assured if we always work together as a team, we will continue our strong growth.

I have visited many sites recently and it has been very pleasing to see people in their uniforms and presenting themselves so well.

I would like to suggest, we can achieve greater client satisfaction by ensuring we are on time every time;  Thinking ahead of what work we have to do;  Partner up with your client to select the safest, efficient way to conduct materials handling. 

• Look at planning work for the next day, week and month  
• Provide all written reports weekly to the office team, on time
• Be leaders on the project and provide results for our clients
• Check all the equipment ensuring for safety and quality
• Provide feedback so we can all improve our business.  

Thank you for reading and please add value to your company every day.  We need you, we want you to have your say and above all else have a fantastic place to work.

God Bless.  

Jason Redman

A WORD FROM DAVE BROWN

Welcome to our latest edition of our monthly newsletter.  We hope you will enjoy the read. As with any type of written communication, it is difficult to fit so much into a few lines so please allow me to touch on a few subjects that are very important to Reds Global.  

March Training
Reds Global have always strived to be better than our competitors by focusing on positive attitudes and the very best equipment we can supply.  Our training days are an opportunity for Reds Global to improve ourselves with communication, training and education.  We acknowledge that you all work hard with long hours and this is why the communication, training and eduction is so important and separates us vastly from our competitors.  We appreciate the wonderful commitment each of you give on a daily basis and with these training days we are trying to demonstrate our commitment to you with continued learning, improvement and education.  We trust you will enjoy what we have planned for you on March 5th.  

Customer Service
Like each of you, our clients want to understand what is happening in their environment and as the crane crew are an intricate part of the construction process, it is imperative that you advise them of any changes on site.  This elevates any guess work or frustration between yourselves and our clients.  

We face challenges every day between clients, crews and from different stakeholders.  Although most of you work at the same location for a period of time we see these challenges taking place on varied projects across the board.  The biggest challenge again, comes back down to communication.  Please try to picture yourself in our clients position and ask yourself if you would be happy with the communication that you provide on site.   Building rapport takes time but, the benefits far outweigh any time taken to build it.  

Thank you and always remember to give that extra 10% as it makes a difference between being good or being exceptional.   

With our kind regards 

Dave Brown

TEAM OF THE MONTH

The feedback that we have received from site has been outstanding and we are very proud to be able to give them this gift of appreciation.

Enjoy your Gold Class movie vouchers guys, and thank you again for your dedication to our team!

SAFETY MESSAGE

Hi Team,

Our Team Leaders have started to complete Risk Management training, as part of a Leadership and Management program.  The first course was held on the 22nd January with the next course being held on 5th March.  In this course I discuss Legislation and risk assessing the core business to develop strong controls that eliminate or mitigate risk, especially high risk, by using best practices. The course is technical but hopefully our Team Leaders will come out of it a bit more educated in regards to responsibilities and identifying risk.


I will continue to improve our systems, to be the best in our industry. Please contact me for any safety concerns, especially issues that may need to be raised to our clients.

BIANNUAL TRAINING

Reds Global Training Day will be held on Sunday, 5th March 2017.  We look forward to seeing you all on the day at one of our three training locations.  A letter has been sent to each of you advising the course and location you will be attending on the day.  If you are unsure about this information please contact the office.

 The winter PPE issue will be distributed on the day.  Suggestions and ideas for future upcoming days will be sought from all our employees.  Training is a requirement in NSW under the WH&S act and as such, plays an important role in the future and direction of Reds Global.

Full PPE including helmets, boots and chin strap (chin straps will be supplied to you on the day) are required for trainees attending the Working at Heights courses.  Enjoy the day and value the new found skills and knowledge you will share.  Also for those that have not given us their USI number we require it for you to obtain your certification.  

Regards,

Glen Pears
Training Assistant

A WORD FROM RACHEL LAIDLAW

Hello Team,

Welcome to the February Newsletter.  I wanted to share this amazing shot of a storm rolling in over the Somersby yard taken by Dave Brown.  We have had a lot of very cool photos sent in over the past month.  Thank you and please keep them coming.  I save them all to our media files and utilise them for many things e.g. events, newsletters, the website and Facebook.   

We are all looking forward to training day this weekend.  We are sorting the PPE as we speak.  There will be representatives from the office at each location and they will distribute the PPE.  I will be at the Rydges location for the First Aid course.

There is a lot of rain predicted for the coming weeks and I would like to remind everyone to take care on the roads.  It would be heart breaking if you did not make it home to your nearest and dearest so please consider this every time you get behind the wheel.    

Stay safe, all the best.
