Employee Development Program
As part of our company's strategic plan, we are implementing the Davey Tree
Employee Development (Ed) program. The focus of this program is strengthening
our workforce—specifically, recruiting, onboarding and retention efforts, as well as
increasing career-development opportunities and improving training and education
programs. In addition, our Ed initiative helps us develop and prepare our next
generation of leaders at all locations and levels of operation.
In 2015, we successfully launched a new jobs website which assists in our recruiting
efforts (view at Jobs.Davey.com). Additionally, we expanded our Learning Management
System (LMS) program to simplify employee access to Davey Tree's education and
development programs and connect employees to other online trainings.
OUR PEOPLE
We are committed to attracting and retaining employees from diverse
backgrounds. We recruit talented candidates with a passion for trees and
who take pride in cultivating their professional development. In 2015,
Davey Tree employed approximately 8,400 employees.
