So we have a new recruit starting for us in a couple of weeks. We are so excited to have her start! Of course she had many questions about many different things. Some questions included:
How many homes per year does Garman build?
Where will I be building Garman homes?
What makes Garman Homes different?
Etc., etc., etc. Important stuff!
Of course, once we answered those questions among many more, she could not resist coming to work for us.So once she accepted the position, there were more questions. We had more answers.Then a few days later, she called me very excited about starting work and she asked me the simple question, "What do I wear to work?"
The cool thing is I didn't even have to think about it and I answered, "Whatever you are comfortable in."
She said, "Even Jeans?"
And I said, "Even jeans and if it's hot out, you can wear shorts."
She ended the conversation with, "This gets even better."
Of all the important questions that were asked during the interview, the simple question of what to wear to work was not important. But to be able to wear comfortable clothes, especially when we work in an outdoor factory, is very important. There are many companies who tell you what to wear no matter how uncomfortable it may make you while working. We are not one of those companies! We are serious about our work and serious about our customers. We are not serious about what we wear while doing it. If our Build Like a Gilr star can wear a dress to build a house, why can't Gerry?!?! Ha!
