Michael DeRitis never puts work before his workers. The owner of Madison & East Mechanical Corp. in Parkland, New York, will turn down a job if it puts too much stress on his staff. DeRitis values his clients, but he knows the clients get better results from happy workers.
“I put myself in their shoes before I make a decision,” he said. “I know that if my employees are happy, then my job site will be happy and my client will be happy.”
