Description
Homebuilding’s No. 1 echo-chamber challenge, and the most-often-identified risk among the industry sector’s small, medium, and enterprise-level businesses, is building’s “frontline worker cliff.” Still, there are proven solutions to slowly turn the tide of losses to construction talent ranks, and this session will put those tactics into a light individual firms and their partners can begin applying immediately in the field. Addressing head-on a prevailing belief in construction talent ranks that jobs are dead-ends, with little to no opportunity to advance in a career or as an entrepreneur, this interactive work-group will focus on all the ways best practices organizations keep valued team members on constant training tracks of learning, upskilling, and career growth. We can turn the tide.
