Description
As many construction companies focus on long-term strategic growth, attracting and retaining employees has become increasingly critical. In addition to enhanced employee engagement and retention, a diverse and inclusive (D&I) culture has direct links to greater innovation, higher levels of performance, and profitability. Both construction employers and labor unions increasingly recognize the value of D&I and are implementing programs to encourage members of underrepresented groups to join the construction industry.
Join us for a panel discussion on the current and future impact of D&I on business outcomes. This diverse group of panelists will leverage their industry expertise, sharing ideas and best practices from their D&I programs. Join this session to learn how your company can benefit from implementing D&I strategies.
Session Not Available for On-Demand CPE
