535. Building Safer Growth: Aligning Culture, Compliance, and Clarity on the Job Site
Description
In this episode of Daily Influence, host Brandon Cohen speaks with Brian Smith about how one construction company tackled the increasing complexity of growth by investing in operational safety, cultural alignment, and compliance clarity.
As the company expanded its self-performed services, new risks emerged—requiring smarter systems and better communication across field and leadership teams. Brian walks through how IA Business Advisors applied the SMART Management model to assess vulnerabilities, update and digitize safety protocols (including bilingual delivery), and build a culture of transparency and accountability.
The result? A safety program aligned with OSHA, union, and client standards, 85% company-wide engagement, and real-time feedback loops that empower teams to apply what they learn right on the job site.
This episode is a must-listen for leaders in high-risk industries who want to scale responsibly while protecting their people and preserving their culture.
