TULSA, OKLA. (June 2009) -- As Road Science, LLC™ embarks on its new beginning in the road paving industry, the company has become an early adopter of the “Jerk-Free Workplace” with the help of The People Group, LLC, a Tulsa company specializing in positive people practices consulting. Adopting this policy adds Road Science to a short list of only 15 companies in the United States, and the first in Tulsa, who have made a commitment to establishing a jerk-free and bully-free work environment.
According to the employee experience brochure, “Road Science is committed to providing all Team Members a healthy and safe work environment,”
In addition to providing a positive work environment, The People Group and Road Science hope to prevent health-harming issues that are a product of continuous psychological mistreatment and result from being
subjected to bullying. Stress-related illnesses can cause employees to withdraw from their peers, friends and
family, and can also cause performance on the job to suffer, ultimately, leading to a negative impact on the entire organization. Brian Majeska, Chief Operating Officer at Road Science, commented, “our management team believes that extraordinary businesses care about three people: the teammate, the customer, the owner. Today, one of our primary focuses is the teammate; each other. Any success we achieve in the future will be based on the environment we are creating today; an ethical environment of trust, belief, collaboration and innovation.
Through this partnership, The People Group is able to provide positive people practice strategies to Road Science in order to attract and retain the best talent through innovative compensation and benefits, as well as a revolutionary, healthy and attractive work environment.
For more information about enacting a Jerk-Free and Bully-Free work environment, please contact The People Group at 888.797.9992.
