Demand for Experienced Skilled Trades Talent Grows

Jenna Mathieu — Wed, 19 Jul 2017 12:20:08 +0000

The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts the construction industry will face a shortage of 1.6 million workers by 2022. So how did an industry that let go more than 2 million workers during the recession, well more than any other industry, end up in the talent struggle?

Currently, there is only one tradesman entering the workforce for every 5 that retire. With 73% of construction firms planning to expand their headcount throughout 2017, this leaves the industry in a continued shortage for qualified talent. The Associated General Contractors of America reported that construction firms added employees over the past year at nearly double the rate of the overall economy. In June alone, the industry added 16,000 jobs across the country.

The shortage of talent comes from a number of factors including:

Fewer apprenticeship programs
Fewer trade/vocational programs
A much faster rate of talent leaving the industry than joining it
The number of tradesmen who left the industry during the recession and sought other professions
Growing number of construction projects across the nation

The talent shortage has caused contractors to delay job completions, pay costly overtime, hire under-skilled staff and offer per diem options to attract non-local workers to their projects.

Hiring inexperienced workers can result in costly mistakes, injuries and delays to schedules. Trillium Construction Services specializes in recruiting skilled trades and construction management talent for long term and short term hiring needs across the country. With more than 30 years of experience, Trillium is ranked the 24th Largest Industrial Staffing Firm in the nation, hiring more than 40,000 employees each year in all 50 states. Whether your need for talent ranges from Project Management through Journeyman or Apprentice level tradesmen, Trillium can provide you with the talent needed to meet project deadlines and expectations.

Maintaining Millennial Talent

Jenna Mathieu — Mon, 14 Nov 2016 13:27:02 +0000

As the talent gap continues to grow, employers are looking to the Millennial and Gen Z populations to complete their teams. It’s estimated that by 2020, Millennials alone will make up nearly half of the workforce. In order to attract and maintain Millennials in your workforce, it’s important to understand that their values and interests vary greatly from other generations.

As employers adjust to the retirement of their aging workforce, they’re forced to reassess their expectations and company culture. Even beyond the struggle to attract Millennial talent is the struggle to maintain it. According to Forbes, 91% of Millennials expect to stay at a job for less than three years. PwC reports that 43% of Millennials said they are open to other offers. So, how do you hold on to your new talent?

The key to maintaining Millennials in the workplace is keeping them happy. TIME reports “Loving What I Do” is more important to Millennials than even salaries and big bonuses. They also report that more than 80% want more flexible work schedules.

This generation centers themselves around entertainment and technology, spending more than 5 hours daily on social media. Keeping them engaged in the workplace can be easier when offering state of the art technology, instant messaging, and access to social media platforms. All of this connectivity can also work to your advantage as it can build your referral network quickly. Allowing flexible scheduling, telecommuting, and travel opportunities can also build commitment in the workplace. With nearly a third of the Millennial group planning to leave their current job in the next year, it’s never to soon to implement changes to your culture.

Dealing With Death In The Workplace

Jenna Mathieu — Mon, 03 Oct 2016 18:46:43 +0000

One of the more difficult issues you may face as a manager or employee is the loss of a co-worker. While these occurrences may seem rare and there is little training on the topic, a 2003 report by The Grief Recovery Institute found that deaths of co-workers, friends, and extended family members cost U.S. businesses $7 billion annually in loss productivity.

Whether the loss of your team member is due to natural causes, an accident, or a workplace accident; there is likely to be a large impact in the workplace. Here are a few ways to assist yourself and your staff progress:

Acknowledge the loss. Ignoring the loss will not make it go away and can lead to additional emotions from your staff. Be respectful of their emotions and understand that many things will serve as constant reminders of their loss. An unfinished project, an empty office, and a quiet break room will all serve as reminders that someone is missing and can bring up emotions.
Make resources available. Does your organization offer an EAP or other benefits that are designed to assist with grief or depression? Now may be an appropriate time to remind your employees of those resources. Consider offering a break room or private area for staff to talk or grieve. Work with department managers to make arrangements for those staff members who wish to attend memorial services available to do so.
Remain vigilant. Do you notice a particular person who is struggling long term or more so than others? Have a member of HR meet with them to discuss their options and resources independently.

Supervisors and HR personnel should establish protocol for such unfortunate events ahead of time. Having a protocol in place can assist department managers with executing resources quickly and efficiently.

9 out of 10 Staffing Employees Are Satisfied With Their Employer

Jenna Mathieu — Thu, 29 Sep 2016 18:08:04 +0000

Considering a position through a staffing firm may be intimidating if you have never partnered with one before. What were some times formerly referred to as “temps”, used to be seen as beneath direct employees of a company. With the huge surge in staffing and contract work, the tables have significantly turned.

The average staffing agency employee makes $17/hr with many making upwards of $100/hr. Companies of all sizes and industries now rely on staffing firms to help provide qualified talent of all levels in order to maintain the resources needed to do business. This surge in business has allowed staffing agencies to be very selective in what companies they choose to recruit for. Not all staffing experiences are the same, be sure to check out our blog on how to identify the right Recruiter for you.
