Culture of Safety
There’s nothing more important to us than people. That’s why safety is the top priority at Flynn. It is the core of our culture.
Safety at Flynn starts and ends with taking “CARE”: Competence, Awareness, Risk Management, and Empowerment. We are all responsible for ensuring that everyone goes home safe, to the things that matter most.
We pride ourselves on our industry-leading health & safety program. Flynn always goes above and beyond compliance safety requirements. We ensure that everyone in Flynn is equally invested and takes ownership of the program. The health & safety culture we’ve developed and nurture sets Flynn apart.
Named after our company founder, the Don Flynn Safety Awards are our version of the Stanley Cup! Each year, two branches with the top health and safety performances have a celebration in recognition of their hard work and dedication to our thriving safety culture.This highly sought-after trophy is displayed in their offices until new winners are announced the following year.
WELCOME TO OUR TEAM
A Sample of Our Projects
Working with some of the world’s best architects and designers, we have produced award-winning results on many projects.
OUR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT JOURNEY
For companies joining the Flynn Family, a recurring theme has been subsequent organic growth as Flynn’s Shared Services, operational best practices team, and national service operations are brought to bear. These add financial strength, and bring growth opportunities for our people.
Flynn branches have developed their own best practices, which has created a large untapped collective knowledge across Flynn. In order to share this knowledge we created the Flynn Operational Excellence Team (OPEX). OPEX is an internal group whose goal is to identify and implement best practices across all of our scopes, while at the same time look for continuous improvement. OPEX team members may be some of the first Flynn staff your field crews will get to meet.
In 2005 Flynn began to develop support functions like Human Resources, IT, Workplace Health & Safety, and other “Shared Services” that have grown to be such a huge differentiator between us and our competitors. While these teams are based at Flynn’s head office in Toronto, members of Shared Services also work locally across the company.
Flynn has 150+ repair and maintenance crews coast to coast. They serve the building services industry with 24-HR emergency repair, roof inspection, and preventive maintenance services. Strategic and national customers make up a large percentage of revenue from Flynn’s Service division. Financial and personnel growth from Service is a recurring theme of Flynn’s post-merger activities.
Welcome to the Flynn Family!
