“To put one's best foot forward.” It’s a common phrase used to describe how someone might present at his or her best, or work hard to make a good first impression.
Navigating the sometimes murky waters of contractor management can be a challenging task. There is a common belief that a good contractor relationship largely comes down to the work practices of the contractor themselves. While this is true, the management practices of the employer towards the employee in return play just as important a part in building a good contractor relationship. It’s fair to say that putting one’s best foot forward goes both ways.
While contractors are responsible for managing their own reliable and safe work practices, it is an employer’s responsibility to ensure that their employee’s health, safety, and performance are all tracked and maintained. Providing an easy and efficient framework within which to operate for your contractors and staff alike goes a long way towards ensuring a stable relationship centered on best practice principles.
So let’s start from the beginning. Starting strong by welcoming, inducting correctly, and giving clear lines of communication with site supervisors, are all vital parts of ensuring your projects have the best chance for safe and successful completion. Sine helps by providing you and your contractors all the information you need in real time from the moment they step onto a site. Gone are the days of manual sign-in books, replaced instead with a site management process that is fast, efficient, and modern, right from the first step.
As a business, using Sine to put your best foot forward is a significant step towards helping your contractors to put their best foot forward, too.
