Winning the War for Talent: One of the Roofing Industry’s Biggest Challenges

The Roofing Industry is particularly vulnerable in terms of its workforce shortage and is, arguably, THE most important issue in the industry. The Associated Builders and Contractors reports that there is a national shortage of over 650,000 construction professionals to meet current industry demand. In addition to the aging workforce, retention is also a huge challenge in our industry. Not addressing these industry challenges will result in additional project delays as well as higher construction costs and quality control issues. This presentation will outline real world strategies around employee recruitment, engagement and retention; you will not only be energized and delighted, but you will walk away with actionable strategies you can put to work right away.
