Empowering our Technicians: The Morrison Industrial Equipment Approach

There's a force behind every successful operation that's often overlooked—the people.

In the bustling world of industry, where machines hum and production lines pulse with energy, there's a force behind every successful operation that's often overlooked—the people. At Morrison Industrial Equipment, we understand that our employees are not just cogs in the machine; they are the heartbeat of our organization. We prioritize their well-being, growth, and empowerment because we know that when they thrive, so does our company.

Interest-Free Tool Purchase Program

In the world of industrial repair, having the right tools at hand can make all the difference. Morrison recognizes this fundamental truth and is one of the reasons for our Tool Loan Program. This Program represents our commitment to supporting our team members in their quest for success and efficiency.

One of the standout features of Morrison Industries' Tool Loan Program is the Interest-Free Tool Purchase Program. This innovative initiative enables technicians to acquire crucial tools without worrying about accruing interest charges. Here's how it works:

Eligibility: All technicians who have been with the company for six months or longer are eligible to participate in the program.

Flexible Purchasing: Technicians can choose to have Morrison Industries purchase the tools through a preferred vendor or buy them independently, with reimbursement upon submission of receipts.

Maximum Limit: Technicians may spend up to $2,000.00 on additional tools that enhance their efficiency and effectiveness in completing customer repairs.

Repayment: The loan amount must be paid back through convenient payroll deductions over a period not exceeding eighteen months.

Investing in Training and Development

A well-trained technician is not only more proficient but also more confident and engaged in their work. Morrison spares no effort in providing comprehensive training programs for our forklift technicians. We believe in learning by doing. That's why our training approach encompasses hands-on experience, job shadowing, e-learning modules, and classroom sessions. We're dedicated to setting you up for success as a Field Service Technician. You'll earn the same amount as you would in the field. That's right, no deductions here – just full support as you develop your skills.

Empowering Employees to Lead

We don't just value our employees; we empower them to lead. We believe that every individual possesses unique skills, experiences, and perspectives that contribute to our collective success. By fostering an environment where everyone feels empowered to take ownership and initiative, we cultivate a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.

Here's how we empower our employees to lead:

Autonomy and Accountability: We trust our technicians to take ownership of their work. By providing clear goals and objectives, coupled with the autonomy to make decisions and take calculated risks while in the field.

Opportunities for Growth: Growth isn't just about climbing the corporate ladder; it's about continuous learning and development. Whether through stretch assignments, cross-functional projects, or leadership training programs, we provide our employees with ample opportunities to expand their skill sets and broaden their horizons.

Encouraging Innovation: Great ideas can come from anyone, anywhere. That's why we cultivate a culture of innovation where creativity is encouraged, and experimentation is celebrated. We empower our employees to think outside the box, challenge the status quo, and bring fresh perspectives to the table.

Lead by Example: Leadership isn't reserved for those with fancy titles; it's a mindset. At Morrison Industrial Equipment, we believe that leadership is about influence, not authority. We encourage all our employees to lead by example, whether it's by mentoring a colleague, championing a new initiative, or embodying our company values in their day-to-day actions.

The Ripple Effect of Investing in our Technicians

At Morrison, we firmly believe that our people are our greatest asset. By valuing and empowering our employees, we not only create a thriving workplace culture but also lay the foundation for sustained success and growth in the years to come. After all, when we invest in our people, we invest in our future.
