Save the Date! Grand Rapids – Make it Happen Event
Wednesday, November 6
New this year! The Fall Make it Happen Event will be a special gathering for all Kent Companies employees plus your spouse or special guest. The date for the Grand Rapids event is Wednesday, November 6 at DeVos Place. This is a 2-hour evening event that will feature heavy appetizers, prizes and a special program. We have an exciting announcement for all employees that you won’t want to miss. Make plans now to join the entire team for this special night.
Dates for Redford, Ohio, St. Louis and Traverse City will be announced soon.
Why do you work safely every day?
Safety is more than how we work…it’s about WHY we choose to live this way every day. We all have family, loved ones and friends counting on us to come home safely. As a team, we are committed to industry-leading safety standards. There’s no better reminder about your WHY than looking inside your hard hat at the start of each day.
There are still ten $25 prizes available for the MY WHY safety campaign! As a reminder, here’s how it works:
- Your Division Manager or Superintendent gave you a “My WHY” safety sticker for your hard hat.
- Write your WHY on it.
- When you put on your hard hat every day, you’ll remember exactly WHY you’re working safely.
- Take your hard hat & sticker home, and take a selfie with your family/friends/loved ones.
- Winners will receive a promo code to shop online in the Kent Companies store.
Text your photo to the Safety team. Save their contact info to your phone.
