Abstract: It’s no secret that the construction and trade industry is growing at a fast pace, which means the need for talent expands with it. Baby boomers are retiring and after a global pandemic, remote work seems to be a top choice amongst the workforce. According to an analysis by Associated Builders and Contractors, the industry needed to attract an estimated 501,000 additional workers in 2024 to meet labor demands; imagine what that looks like in 2025. Learn how to capitalize on efficient search tactics, understand how digital project delivery can bridge the gap between workload and lack of staff, and what focusing on work culture can do for retention. With the challenge of attracting qualified talent, companies are forced to look at internal resources and talent in order to continue meeting and exceeding goals. The companies with health initiatives, engaging culture, and organized environments will find it a bit easier to attract talent. Bring home recruiting tactics, ideas on how to integrate DPD (digital project delivery) into your processes, and ways to show applicants and current employees why you’re the best fit for them. At the end of the day, recruiting and retaining talent is all about people, how you treat them, the benefits offered, and making sure that they feel seen in the career that they are in.
