East & Westbrook Construction celebrates being awarded the “Best Places to Work in Kentucky” for a third year, solidifying its commitment to a workplace culture that creates long-term job satisfaction.

East & Westbrook Construction (E&W) is excited to announce we are the recipients of the “Best Places to Work in Kentucky” award for the third year running! We are proud to be included in the group of 31 medium-sized companies who received this honor this year, particularly as it reflects success in our commitment to our team. Out of the many companies that compete annually, to continue to be awarded year after year is an accomplishment we celebrate with gratitude and pride.

An honor that highlights commitment to our team

We are particularly proud of this accomplishment because it is a direct reflection of employee satisfaction at E&W. This honor is awarded based on two metrics; first, any business that registers provides an assessment of their employer policies, workplace culture, and the ways they help their team to thrive in their careers. Next, multiple employees are independently and anonymously surveyed about how they feel about their workplace, giving honest answers. The employee answers are weighted to make up 80% of the overall score, and the employer response makes up the remaining 20%.

Employee satisfaction is the main reason we have received this honor, which reinforces for us more than anything that we continue to make strong choices when we emphasize safety in all our work, prioritize our service to our team, and create a workplace culture that ensures our team can approach their work with a positive attitude each day.

Why is E&W one of Kentucky's “Best Places to Work”?

E&W invests in its team members, offering extensive health, dental, and vision insurance benefits and paying 90% of the health insurance costs for our team. We keep our wages competitive and include a 401k, bonuses, and PTO. We don't lay off employees seasonally; we ensure work for our team year-round, meaning our team can count on us to keep them working. We cross-train our employees, letting you grow your career within the company, and we offer apprenticeships and on-the-job learning opportunities.

We also hold safety as a top priority; we strive to anticipate and prevent safety issues through ongoing training, standard operating procedures, and active assessment for possible safety concerns on every worksite. We want our team members to go home to their families daily, and our commitment to safety makes that possible.

We can only build complex structures and lasting relationships with our team, and we strive each day to make E&W a great place to work!
