Earlier this year, we launched our Mentorship Program, and we're thrilled to share that 1/3 of our firm is participating! This commitment to investing in our team members and their professional development showcases West Yost's strategic and meaningful approach to growing and retaining our talented 'West Yosters'. And the results are in! Participants are loving the program, and their engagement and feedback are fueling the next cohort of mentees and mentors to continue making the program even stronger. Here's what some of our participants have to say: 🗣️ "I've learned to better network and write my goals in a way that I have control over their success." 🗣️ "I love the structure and support. Through recurring check-ins, my mentee and I have been able to establish clear goals, increase her internal network, and gain an understanding of how to articulate needs and wants." Share the best advice you received or a key takeaway you got from your mentor or mentee during this program. Be sure to include a photo of you and your mentor/mentee if you have it! We are proud of the positive impact our Mentorship Program is having on our team, and we look forward to seeing even more growth and development in the future. Keep up the great work, West Yosters! 🚀 #westyostmentorship #professionaldevelopment #teamgrowth #westyosters #water #engineering #westyost #greatplacetowork #mentors #mentees

🟣💧 Recycled Water: A Vital Resource 💧🟣 Recycled water, marked by purple pipes and signs, is highly treated wastewater that is filtered and cleaned to be used for non-potable purposes like irrigation and cooling. Recycled water is a way to supplement and reduce potable water demands. Some agencies in California are even beginning to use advanced treatment methods to bring recycled water up to potable water standards to be used for drinking water. At West Yost, we’re proud of our Recycled Water Services, offering assistance with all aspects needed to strategically plan, effectively apply, and administer a recycled water program. We support water agencies with recycled water programs from funding assistance, feasibility studies, and treatment plant upgrade designs to retrofit site conversion. Share a photo or two of some of your purple signs in your community! 📸 Remember, every time you spot a purple sign, it symbolizes a commitment to water resilience. Stay tuned for more insights into the world of water! 💧 #westyost #water #engineering #didyouknow #industryinsights #recycledwater
