On a recent cold, blustery January day, VK Civil hosted a Strength Finder’s workshop. In the 3 years since the last time we held this workshop, our team has grown significantly and half the room was filled with new faces. New perspectives mixed with seasoned insights, reinforcing that every team member brings something valuable to the table. That’s why, from day one, every team member takes the Clifton Strengths Finder test. This tool not only helps us understand our unique talents, but it also suggests ways for us to collaboratively work effectively together to optimally serve our clients.
One of the most intriguing takeaways from our workshop was discovering that our team is heavily inclined towards relationship building. While this might be unexpected for an engineering firm, it perfectly aligns with our core values (Virtue, A Well Lived Life, Others As Ourselves, & Stewardship), as well as our responsiveness and our care of our clients.
The insights from the Clifton Strengths Finder test not only validated our company’s focus on relationships but also provided individual team members with a clearer understanding of their unique contributions. Whether you’re a new member or have been with us for years, knowing your strengths empowers you to excel in your role and helps us build an even stronger organization.
At VK Civil, we’re excited to see how these strengths will continue to shape our work, drive innovation, and maintain the high level of care our clients have come to expect as we design communities that thrive.
