The ABC's of DEI
Diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, have been popular buzzwords since 2020. However, there are many misconceptions about their meaning and intent. Diversity, equity and inclusion are not challenges or threats. They offer an opportunity.
If you are like other roofing professionals, your company has experienced a labor shortage. I believe DEI is the answer to that problem. DEI strategies can strengthen your business and employee experience; you just need to do the work.

CONSTRUCTION SUICIDE PREVENTION WEEK SEPTEMBER 2023
In 2020, a mission-driven group of volunteers from across the construction industry came together with the goal of saving lives. They collaborated to launch the inaugural Suicide Prevention Week for the industry — a week dedicated to raising awareness about the higher-than-average number of suicides in the construction industry, and to providing resources to help prevent those deaths.
Every year, during September — National Suicide Prevention Month — the construction industry will dedicate a week to raising awareness about the unique challenges workers face in construction that lead to suicide and what we can do to prevent it. Together, we can save lives.

Season 3, Episode 11 of Coffee Conversations, sponsored by SRS Distribution, had us meeting with industry leaders live at the International Roofing Expo! For this episode, our COO Karen Edwards spoke with RCS Influencers Joe Hoffman, John Kiesel and Mandy McIntyre about how they are navigating issues in the roofing industry.
McIntyre, operations officer at 1st Choice Roofing, talked about how her company is navigating COVID-19 and changing policies regarding workplace safety. She highly suggests that companies have a policy plan in place and in writing. The plan should highlight whatever vaccine mandates the company has in place and what protocols when an employee tests positive for COVID-19.
