Hybrid Generation

 – Driving positive industry change.
 – Promoting a genuine work-life balance.

OUR HYBRID GENERATION CHARTER

The Hybrid Generation charter is a pledge to make positive change through education, safety, and good working practices. Our charter brings together the expertise and knowledge our customers expect, by relating recognised construction standards with the needs of real people. We do this by adopting a strict set of KPI’s with our people and our processes.

Aligning our KPI’s with our 7 core pillars means that we can measure both performance and project workflow, allowing us to deliver set criteria for our clients and valued customers while ensuring the inside of our business is functioning healthily. The UK construction industry is looking at innovative ways to ensure the right talent is being ‘brought through’, encouraging the very best people with the right mindset and skillset to join our community. We acknowledge that our customers and our own people need clarity and structure, and our Hybrid Generation charter will continue to promote a genuine work-life balance for all.

Ultimately, we recognise that communities are built on trust and loyalty, not egos and personal agendas – this is our Hybrid Generation.

OUR DNA

Our Hybrid Generation charter is made up of 7 core pillars – these represent our DNA and the extended promise to our customers, partners and employees alike.

COST Vs BUDGET

In order to address efficiencies in cost and time, we have developed a robust reporting and tendering process that compares all previous projects. Previously, it was too easy to omit information when producing our initial tenders, especially as most information is always required. We now use pre-agreed application templates in order to define prelims at tender stage via an attendance schedule.

DILIGENT

It’s imperative to have a full working knowledge of how to administrate a contract and manage budgets. The appropriate expertise is always gained by having a full understanding of the tendering process and being
able to regularly demonstrate attention to detail on every job.

RESULTS
FOCUSSED

Given this task is extremely detail-focused, it’s imperative our employees have a passion for why the required attention is so important. By recognising the positive effect this role has on securing future work and building relationships, an open-minded approach will create more opportunities.

EFFICIENT &
OPPORTUNISTIC

To continuously provide value through technology, systems and value engineering. Our approach to design keeps our organisation lean, and by always looking to add value in our everyday work, we become champions for building loyal partnerships with our clients.

PROJECT
PROGRESS

In order to address efficiencies in cost and time, we have developed a robust reporting and tendering process that compares all previous projects. Previously, it was too easy to omit information when producing our initial tenders, especially as most information is always required. We now use pre-agreed application templates in order to define prelims at tender stage via an attendance schedule.

ORGANISED

It can be easy to overlook basic scheduling and forward programming, which is why good organisation is the only way to forecast reliable completion dates. By giving the required care and attention to recording and reviewing live information, we ensure that Poppet are in control of the project and not lead by it.

HOLISTIC
APPROACH

Using scheduling & processing techniques are not new to the construction industry. However, the success of a project requires processes to be followed, not just written. Poppet employees don’t just understand how to follow our procedures, they understand a project’s integrity
can be compromised by individuals if they are not adhered to.

DILIGENT &
PROGRESSIVE

We trust our staff to complete every task efficiently because they are aware of the interconnectivity of their work. Assuring each cog turns within our organisation in unity, projects are more likely to progress and be completed in accordance with the extremely high standards we set.

SUPPLY CHAIN
& STAFF

The performance and wellbeing of our staff and supply chain are vital to our work, and long-term success of our business. Short-lived gains and high staff and supply chain turnover would have a detrimental effect on our growth. Through client satisfaction and project success, our goal is to thrive together and prosper.

PREPARED

It’s imperative to have a full working knowledge of how to administrate a contract and manage budgets. The appropriate expertise is always gained by having a full understanding of the tendering process and being
able to regularly demonstrate attention to detail on every job.

INDIVIDUAL
FOCUSSED

By continuously empowering our staff and supply chain, this promotes higher performance levels in individuals. This in turn elevates Poppet’s overall conduct and achievements. Our employees are supported and boosted wherever possible, allowing them to grow as individuals and thereby reimbursing the company with their extended knowledge and added skill-sets.

COLLABORATIVE
& EMPOWERING

To grow together and prosper is the very essence of Poppet and our Hybrid Generation initiative. We believe that sharing our ethos
of working closely together with staff, partners and clients, we encourage the very best from and for everyone involved.

PRESENTATION

Poppet takes pride in the appearance of our employees, our vehicles and our supply chain.We place great importance on providing a well-educated, well presented and well-equipped workforce. While presentation may not seem that important, looking and feeling part of the Poppet brand empowers our employees to do more for themselves and for Poppet.

PROFFESIONAL

Our staff are always provided with
the right tools, uniform (including PPE) and branding. While our image builds confidence and displays professionalism, how equipped we are as a company reduces client cost and increases productivity. It’s also important that our people understand the correlation between our extensive skill set and our presentation as a business.

PRIDE IN POPPET

In most cases, companies and individuals are judged on appearance & how they conduct themselves. The fundamental principles of looking the part and being equipped (both physically and mentally) is what sets Poppet aside from the rest. Our employees recognise the importance of this and take great pride and care in representing themselves and the company in the right light.

HEALTH & SAFETY

Health and Safety is the principle of looking after yourself and others around you, both mentally and physically. This is really the ultimate Key Performance Indicator for any construction company, as it impacts everyone and everything on site.

EQUIPPED

Poppet works with the industry’s leading Health and Safety partners, who monitor and maintain how safely we carry out our work, as well as advising how we can improve going forward. We follow strict guidelines and processes, to keep sites and our people safe at all times.

MIND SET
MATTERS

We place as much importance on mental wellbeing as we do physical health and safety. While there are clear guidelines available for physical health & safety, mental wellbeing is harder to define in the workplace, due to a lack of historical guidance. Encouraging staff to consider their own health & wellbeing as well as looking out for those around them is a constant focus for Poppet.

COMPLIANT &
CONSCIENTIOUS

Beyond complying with Health & Safety standards, Poppet strive to improve them. Mental wellbeing is very important to us, because we care about our team and our ongoing performance. Stress and fatigue can lead to accidents on site, but they can also lead to low staff morale and high staff turnover, the avoidance of this sits at the very heart of our Hybrid Generation initiative.

MOBILISATION

Our flexibility, in terms of reacting to our clients’ needs, is achieved through operational readiness. Poppet supply our teams with the necessary tools and knowledge to undertake most tasks at any one time, ensuring that, whatever our client needs, we are prepared.

READINESS

Poppet always equip our staff and supply chain with tools beyond a job’s anticipated requirements. Aside from on-site readiness, we use any down time between projects to re-tune our team’s existing skills, ensuring all employees are ready to jump into action at any time.

RESULTS
FOCUSSED

Beyond equipping our staff and supply chain with the tools and knowledge they need to complete a project, we also teach the importance of maintaining tools and equipment, so that they can be used without fault at any time. The importance of maintaining focus and mental wellbeing is also vital in terms of long-term performance.

AGILE &
PROACTIVE

Poppet believe that failure to prepare is preparing to fail. The only way to be sure our staff are always ready for any task is to
train them to be so. Every member of the team has a Personal Development schedule in order to keep their mind focused, not just on performing to the best of their ability, but to keep learning and training in order to improve on their skill set.

SKILL SET

VS

MINDSET

When it comes to the people that we employ at Poppet Construction, it’s important that our audience understands that it isn’t just about skill set. We truly believe that mindset is just as important, if not more important, going on the premise that most skills can be taught, but re-aligning someone’s mindset can be much more challenging! 

Here at Poppet Construction, we have identified that for every skill we require in our business, as long as our people have the mindset aligned to each skill, we are able to not only open up the calibre of people we are recruiting for, but it also allows us to train them the ‘Poppet’ way, resulting in an aligned workforce.
