The Importance of Promoting from Within

How Investing in Our People Fuels Growth, Culture, and Long-Term Success at Jewett Construction

February 26th, 2021 | Fremont, NH

As a second-generation, family-owned business, “family” is more than just a core value at Jewett Construction—it’s the foundation of everything we do. We believe that each member of our team is part of that family, and our company’s success is directly tied to the commitment, passion, and growth of our people.

We work tirelessly to provide every team member with a platform to grow professionally and personally. In the construction industry, it has always been about the people—and at Jewett, our people are our greatest asset. We care deeply about those we work with, both on the job and off.

Why Promoting from Within Matters

Organizational growth is inseparable from employee satisfaction and development. That’s why we prioritize internal promotion and talent development at every level. When new roles are created due to our growth, our first instinct is to look inward—at the very team that helped make that growth possible.

By nurturing talent internally, we strengthen company culture, increase long-term engagement, and reinforce continuity. Promoting from within not only celebrates the accomplishments of our team members, but also sets a clear path for advancement and ownership in our shared success.

Mentorship, Training, and Trust

At Jewett, we don’t just encourage our employees to advance—we equip them to do so. Through mentorship, open communication, and targeted training, we help our people stretch beyond their current roles and prepare them to take on new challenges. We also trust our team to be innovative, take initiative, and lead by example.

As our team members elevate into new roles, they, in turn, become mentors to the next generation at Jewett. This creates a powerful cycle of leadership development that drives our business forward and supports the strong, tight-knit culture we’re known for.

Culture That Attracts and Retains

Our internal promotion strategy is one of the reasons Jewett Construction is fortunate to have employees who’ve been with us for 10, 20, and even 35 years. It also helped us weather the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020—we experienced zero layoffs, sustained our workload, promoted internally, and added 24 new team members to the Jewett family.

We’re proud that our culture of shared growth and purpose extends beyond our team and positively impacts our projects, clients, subcontractors, and consultants. The energy and engagement we build internally creates ripples throughout the construction industry and our communities.
