The "POIS" Process

First Reaction/First Glance
At TP Mechanical, our leaders have all embarked on a six (6) day leadership training program in order to grow their leadership skills both at home and at work. Through this process, each of our leaders formed small interaction groups called “POIS Groups” (Pathways Ongoing Integration and Sustainability) which meet on a weekly basis.

First thoughts were, “Oh no, another meeting.” But this notion could be nothing further from the truth.


The Learning Process
TP Mechanical has established over twenty-eight (28) POIS Groups and although some groups no longer are connecting, others have flourished.

POIS Groups have identified themselves with names like “Jerry’s Kids”, “The Force”, “Deuces Wild”, etc. In these 45-minute meetings, the members have formed great friendships while building a trusting and confidential environment that allows them to move forward in the workplace and with their own families.


Improvement for the Future
As these POIS Groups build momentum, the culture at TP Mechanical continues to grow and move forward. Their commitments and participation are helping make TP Mechanical the premiere place to work while reaching out to our communities to serve others.
