Recognizes Excel Constructors
March 2009 Issue - 'Best Places to Work'
Ingram's Article States
It's a classic chicken-and-egg question: Do employees of
Excel Constructors, Inc. remain at the company for a lifetime
because it's such a great place to work, or is Excel a great
place to work because of the longevity of its work force?
Either way, President Michael Johnson is extremely proud of
the "relatively small group of individuals who create the
company. It's a tribute to the people who work for us. We've
been able to acquire good people. We have no turnover. That
stability has been a key to the dedication and longevity of
our people. The whole attitude toward business is based on
honesty and integrity."
The Overland Park-based construction company has been operating
since 1991. Nearly half of the current work force has been
with Excel 10 or more years. "I've always felt that it starts
at the top," Johnson says. "People emulate leadership. You
have to set good examples in the way you want things done.
We're a small company so we don't have a lot of hierarchy.
My background is that I am from the field, and I'm still out
there working along side everyone each day. We encourage and
empower employees by involving them in management decisions
through open discussion, staff meetings and open door policies."
