The annual Mixer Driver Recruitment & Retention Survey and Developing Industry Leaders (DIL) programs fall under the purview of the six-month old Workforce Development Committee. Records were broken in June when their first two initiatives to increase participation in both programs hit it out of the ballpark. At the close of both, participation in each increased a whopping 23%.
The Workforce Development Committee is looking for more active members from big, small and medium Producer members throughout the country. Please join! The next meeting will be in Chicago, August 28-29. A follow-up meeting will be held at ConcreteWorks in suburban Washington, DC, September 27. While most members are HR and talent development professionals, all are welcome. It will “take the village” to address the serious workforce challenges the industry faces; we all have a stake in the game.
