The U.S. population is increasingly diverse and the electrical construction industry must keep pace with today’s workforce to serve the changing needs of business. A diverse workforce brings new talent, and new thinking, to the table. To develop a high-performing, diverse team, you need to understand the unique challenges employers and workers face with different approaches to work, based on different cultural backgrounds and values. This session will focus on how you can best reach and retain diverse workers by understanding varying levels of acculturation, differences in values and how to increase productivity and retention among your diverse workforce.
