Construction Connection, the leading construction job resource and networking website, has partnered with Marketplace Chaplains USA to bring their Employee Care Services to the construction industry. The partnership is designed to help construction companies build a healthier workplace and establish better relationships with employees and clients alike.

Marketplace Chaplains USA was established in Dallas, TX in 1984, making it the longest standing and the largest work of its kind. They have over 2,800 chaplains working in 46 states across the country from California to New York. The chaplains engage with corporations to help them foster relationships with clients and improve the lives of individual workers. Their recent partnership with Construction Connection will help Marketplace Chaplains reach more businesses in the construction industry.

“The work that Marketplace Chaplains does is incredible; they really touch the lives of those they work with,” says Kent Leighton, Co-Founder of Construction Connection. “Their business is very unique, and they offer services that the construction industry needs. They’re not just there for guidance and support, but they also help business operations by bringing folks together and strengthening organizations from the inside out.”

Marketplace Chaplains boasts a track record of improving businesses’ productivity, employee retention and loyalty. Their Employee Care Services are aimed at supporting both management and staff to build respect, appreciation and understanding in the workplace, thus creating more effective teams and happier employees. In addition, the chaplains serve as confidants to employees during crises, help reduce employee stress and resolve workplace conflicts.

Their services are not limited to a religion or ethnicity, which is vital in an industry as diverse as construction. The chaplains are men and women from all backgrounds, working with people from all walks of life. Construction companies will have their own Chaplain Care Teams who cater to the needs of all employees, regardless of gender, race, or religion; they are there help people press on amidst personal, work-related or other stressful issues, not to preach.

“We are thrilled to be working with such a forward thinking company as Construction Connection,” said Marketplace Chaplains Executive President and COO Richard S. De Witt. Marketplace Chaplains USA is the newest addition to the growing community of construction industry leaders that make up the Construction Connection partners. Other partners include legal firms, MEP engineers, wage compliance benefit consultants, software developers, business consultants, and more. By joining the network of over 100,000 construction professionals and companies on ConstructionConnection.com, members have direct access to all the partners. Members have access to a wealth of other educational and developmental resources specifically tailored to the construction industry as well.
