Birmingham, Ala. (September 6, 2018)— Construction Business Owner, the leading business magazine for contractors, is pleased to announce a no-cost webinar presented in partnership with Viewpoint.
The live, online event, "Building Your Teams for Future Growth," will take place Oct. 18, 2018, at 1 p.m. EDT. Click here for your free registration.
Over the past few years, a focus on the need to invest in the development of employees has been diverted. As contractors hire more people to support new work, they must recognize that some of the industry’s talented veterans left the workforce and are not coming back. As business owners hire newer employees with less experience, there is a significant need to train them, especially as baby boomers continue to retire at increasing rates.
Learning objectives:
- Examine training trends, challenges, concerns and innovations and their impact on the construction industry in the past year
- Identify the successful training and development strategies required to maximize performance and develop a culture of accountability
- Utilize these techniques and strategies to advance talent development practices within your company
- Observe the practices that leading construction firms from across the country have adapted into their strategic plans
The event will be presented by FMI Corporation’s Tracey Smith and Edward K. Rowell.
