By Chad A. Dorn To be named Producer of the Year, a company must display superior performance in six areas as described below. However, few achievements are derived from the effort of only one individual.
Teamwork is necessary in the achievements of individuals and the company as a whole.
When financial resources, human talent and energy are directed by core values, core purpose, corporate objectives and annual baseline goals, cooperative effort and teamwork result in greater individual and company achievement. The words above describe the values, purpose and objectives that guide Graniterock operations day in and day out. These objectives encompass the company's commitment to the nomination categories of Safety, Community Relations, Environment, Training, Technology and Operations. In fact Graniterock's nine corporate objectives are Safety, Production Efficiency, Customer Satisfaction and Service, People, Product Quality Assurance, Community Commitment, Financial Performance and Growth, Management, and Profit. Granite Rock Co. was founded on Valentine's day, Feb. 14, 1900.
