Felt In Every Handshake Displayed By Every Teammate
Derived from our own teammates, HGC's core values were selected to help us be the best. These values lead decisions, help navigate through problems, and provide clear direction in any situation. They are the common thread that connects our incredibly diverse team to one another. These core values make up our Hoopaugh Grading culture.
Dependable
We are there for each other, our clients, and our partners, regardless of circumstances.
Do What It Takes
We go the extra mile to get the job done.
Integrity
We always do the right thing, take accountability and are honest, even when no one is looking.
Keep It Simple
We are efficient in our processes and our operations.
Respect
We treat others the way we want to be treated and use positive communication to address conflict and create solutions.
Safety At HGC
Keeping our team, our partners and our clients safe on our jobsites is our main priority every day. Our goal is to send everyone home in the same condition in which they arrived.
HGC Empowered
In 2018, our employee-led Safety Steering Committee developed and introduced a new safety program called HGC Empowered. The mission is simple: "to develop a solid foundation of safety through an open-door policy and without fear of retribution."
Every teammate has stop work authority and is encouraged to ask questions and report concerns as soon as they arise. By creating a culture centered around safety, we are creating more ownership and developing each teammate into a safety advocate.
