November Technical Chapter Meeting - Targeting Success - Improve Employee Satisfaction, Retention, and Profit - Virtual
2024-11-07 11:45 - 13:00 | OR
Targeting Success – Improve Employee Satisfaction, Retention, and Profit.

The building design and construction industry must change its workforce demographics to meet future demand, including increasing the number of women. Despite more women earning STEM degrees, their representation in the workforce remains low, mainly due to poor retention. This presentation will explore why women leave the industry and what can improve retention. This issue is vital for reducing turnover, boosting productivity, and ensuring long-term success for employers in the industry.
