Day 4 of Women in Construction (WIC) Week brings us back to our Employee of the Month, Onicia Briones! We asked Onicia who has made a significant impact on her career, and her response was truly inspiring. Onicia emphasized that "ALL OF THEM" have played a crucial role in shaping her professional journey. She couldn't single out just one person because every individual she has worked with, regardless of their experience level, has contributed to her growth and development. In Onicia's own words, which we believe capture her sentiment perfectly: "I appreciate each and every coworker I have encountered, for giving me a chance to thrive and grow. All love." This statement reflects her gratitude for the collective wisdom and support she has received throughout her career. Whether working alongside seasoned veterans or enthusiastic newcomers, Onicia has found valuable lessons in every interaction. She credits her current knowledge and experience to the diverse group of men and women she has collaborated with over the years. We want to express our sincere thanks to Onicia for sharing another aspect of her inspiring story during WIC Week. Her appreciation for her colleagues and her commitment to continuous learning exemplify the spirit of teamwork and growth that we value so highly in our industry.

On this Day 3 of WIC Week, we're shining the spotlight on Heather Daniels, one of our dedicated laborers. For Heather, working at Spieker feels like being part of a close-knit family. When asked about her mentors, Heather found it challenging to single out just one person, as she believes she's gained valuable insights from everyone she's collaborated with. However, she did highlight Mark Schlegl's consistent support and guidance during their joint projects. Despite her 8-year tenure with Spieker, Heather continues to find each day brings new experiences and learning opportunities. Her enthusiasm and commitment to growth exemplify the spirit of our company. We'd like to express our heartfelt appreciation to Heather for her unwavering dedication and hard work, particularly as we celebrate Day 3 of Women in Construction (WIC) Week. Thank you, Heather, for being an integral part of the Spieker team!

As we celebrate Women in Construction week, The Spieker Company will be featuring our inspiring, hard working women in the field and the positive impact that mentorship can have in the construction industry. Maizie Meyer's story as a second-year carpenter apprentice transitioning from concrete work to interior/finish work is a great example of the diverse opportunities available in construction. It's particularly encouraging to see the support she's receiving from Morgan Finn. Mentorship plays a crucial role in developing skills and building confidence, especially for those entering into the industry. Morgan's patience and understanding have clearly made a significant difference in Maizie's learning experience and professional growth. By featuring different team members each day, we are hoping to inspire other young women who might be considering a career in construction. Maizie's journey highlights the importance of diversity in the construction industry. Her success and the support she's receiving are positive signs for the future of women in construction. Thank you Morgan, for being so supportive of Maizie while she continues to learn her trade and become a valuable addition to our company. Maizie, keep up the hard work and we wish you the best of luck in your apprenticeship! #WICWeek
