Can you afford NOT to Have Diversity in Your Workforce?

By METALCON.

Diversity and inclusion are hot topics right now and this informative webinar dives deep into the issues.

Join RoofersCoffeeShop® partner Heidi Ellsworth as she moderates a webinar panel focused on diversity in the workplace for the next METALCON Live, Wednesday, November 4 at 1 p.m. ET!

Panelists include:

· Tiffany Hutcheson, Sales and Customer Service Manager, Brightsmith Coders

· Sonya Malik, President, Association of Women in Metal

Study after study has concluded that there is a clear link between workplace diversity, increased productivity and the bottom line. In fact, according to a study by Forbes, companies with a diverse workforce produce 19% more in earnings than their less diverse counterparts. You need talented workers now more than ever. So why, at a time when the skilled labor shortage is hitting the construction particularly hard, do women make up just 9% of the US construction industry workforce? Can you afford not to diversify your workforce?

Topics of discussion will include:

· Why diversity is important to the success of your organization

· Recruitment and retention strategies

· Challenges and solutions for women working in a male-dominated industry

· Creating strong, long-lasting and supportive networks

· How workforces have had to adapt since COVID-19

· Advocates and allies - fostering an inclusive work environment

Join Heidi for this panel discussion on a topic that profoundly impacts our industry; the challenges, benefits, rewards and strategies associated with recruiting and retaining top talent in today’s market.
