Show Notes

How many times have you heard recently, “You just can’t find people who want to work”? Maybe you’ve said it yourself.

And I get it on one level.

But on another level, I believe a higher level, companies who aren’t saying this, who say instead, “Our employees are great—they’re passionate, ready to help, and come to work ready to work”—those companies are the ones who understand the amazing relationship between work culture and recruitment.

Or, as I prefer to say, these companies understand how to attract top talent and reduce team turnover.

Dr. Joey’s guests today create a positive work culture that lives on this higher level AND in an industry you may not think of right away as having many positive work cultures—the construction industry.

Learn from Lisa De Lor and Heloisa Ball who lead Clune Construction and it’s Best Place to Work culture in this episode of the Work Positive Podcast.

☀️ align company values with attraction to retain top talent.

☀️ emphasize values above high performance to support an inclusive work culture.

☀️ enhance employee satisfaction and offer extensive support like health and wellness benefits.

Lisa De Lor

Director of Human Resources | Clune Construction

Lisa De Lor joined Clune Construction as Director of Human Resources (HR) in 2019 and quickly became one of the firm’s key leaders. She immediately overhauled Clune’s employee handbook and improved internal communication practices to make information about company benefits, policies, and procedures more accessible to employees. These initiatives resulted in her promotion to Vice President in 2021.

In addition, Lisa streamlined Clune’s applicant and onboarding process by upgrading their HR systems. This included a management request portal for employee status changes, a new Applicant Tracking System and Learning Management Software. She led the company’s transition to an online performance review system, and she remains dedicated to continually enhancing Clune’s robust benefits package.

Lisa is also the co-creator and co-manager of Clune’s Mentoring Program. This successful initiative taps into the existing knowledge and experience of seasoned employees and transfers these skills to newer employees.

To cultivate a workplace where all employees are encouraged to participate, prosper, and reach their full potential, Lisa was instrumental in the formation of Clune’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Advisory Committee. Building upon this commitment to inclusivity, Lisa led the launch of a new employee engagement initiative in 2023. This platform allows employees to collectively celebrate milestones and achievements, exemplifying Clune’s core values.

Lisa consistently transforms Clune’s HR department and employee offerings ensuring that Clune remains on the forefront and sets the standard among its peers and competitors in the industry.
