Where
,With no shortage of work, projects and opportunity construction companies need to refine and revamp their workforce, talent, and change management strategies to sustain a competitive advantage. Some industry estimates suggest that there will be a 40% shortcoming of the available workforce within the next couple of years so companies need to strategize and invest now into recruitment, retention, upskilling, training, automation, technology, and development of skilled tradespersons, managers, and leaders to fill that gap.
Additionally, the industry suffers from a lack of diversity with women and minorities so there is even more pressure to refine recruitment, retention, and workforce management to overcome the current and pending shortages while growing their businesses.
Attending this meeting will enable you to:
-
Analyze the benefits of novel collaborations with trade unions, academic institutions, and training and development partners
-
Identify and develop managers and leaders through case studies, scenario planning, and workshops
-
Upskill the craft and field workforce of the future through automation, AI, technology and innovation
-
Evaluate how to reach the next generation to make the case for construction careers
