In 2023, the cooperative piloted a new “summer hours” program during which we tested a four, ten-hour day work week with great success. Our employees worked more efficiently during the condensed work week as we were able to take advantage of longer daylight hours.
Operations crews made less trips to the job sites due to longer working hours at one site. They were able to start and finish projects making less trips. It provided cost savings while increasing productivity. Our employees felt it provided a nice work-life balance and increased job satisfaction. We feel it will help with employee recruitment and retention, by adding the summer flexible work week.
Despite the temporary change, we will continue to provide the safe and reliable service we have always provided. Thank you for your patience throughout our “summer hours” change.
