Health Screening & Plant Tours

Healthier, happier, more informed employees begin with our annual health screenings. The screenings were held in North Venice, Fort Myers and Tampa areas beginning in January and February 2020.

Ajax provided an onsite workplace mobile clinic from National Diagnostic Services to conduct these health screenings and improve our employees’ experience. Employees were able to call or go on-line to set up appointments prior to arrival of the “Heart Mobile”. The friendly, courteous health staff assisted patients with scheduling, sending reminders, and streamlining the process.

Best of all, employees were able to get their results same day and receive a consultation with a Medical Doctor (MD) to discuss their individual health concerns in a confidential manner. We encourage our employees to take advantage of the wellness screenings provided as part of Ajax’ insurance benefit package. Prevention is the key to our own personal wellness journey.

Our goal for 2019 is to continue to enhance the wellness of our employees.

FGCU PLANT TOURS

  On September 23, 2019 and February 13, 2020, Ajax Paving hosted tours at Ajax’s Fort Myers Plant 4. The tour was for Florida Gulf Coast University students enrolled in FGCU’s Bachelor of Science Construction Management program.

  Ajax’s Plant Manager, Mickey Cox, led the group on this informative tour. During the tour, FGCU Students were able to become familiar with the process of creating asphalt mixes. Students learned the different geographic locations Ajax’s aggregates and materials come from and the role different aggregates have in producing different mixes. Students then made their way over to Ajax’s Quality Control Lab and learned about processes for testing, quality control and various specifications of mixes dependent on type of job. The tour ended with an overview of the delivery process to jobsites, as well as a Q & A lead by Ajax’s Vice President of Estimating, Andy Decraene.

  Big shout-out to all of the Ajax employees who made these tours possible, Ajax looks forward to hosting more in the future!
