Workforce Recruitment, Retention and Development– Finding And Keeping Your Labor Force Now
Kevin Dougherty
The recession of 2007-2008 drained the construction industry
of a lot of talent. People found new work in other industries
or retired. Whether a roofing contractor, roofing consultancy,
design company or building department, we all have
challenges finding and keeping staff to replace the talent that
left. Dougherty covers critical issues in recruiting and
retaining workers for your business. |

Carole Ceja (RRJ), Kevin Froeter (Sterling Commercial Roofing), Stephen Phillips (Hendrick Phillips), and Dennis Runyan (Dryspace, Inc.)
Ever involved in specifying a roof replacement for a building
owner without a licensed professional? Roofing accounts for a
big percentage of construction litigation while it gets little
attention due to being ‘out of sight, out of mind’. Hear from a
panel of a roof consultant specifier, roofing contractor, and
roofing specialist lawyer about possible liability in the roof
replacement process. From Roofing specifications to
installation and inspection, they’ll cover issues that will keep
you out of court. |
