Understanding Your Workforce is Key to Recruit and Retain Top Talent

Contractor's Daughter

CONEXPO isn’t just the largest construction show in North America. It also has an incredible amount of content on its website with articles, interviews, and other very helpful resources. So when they asked if I was willing to be interviewed for an article, I jumped at the chance!

In this episode of the Contractor’s Daughter podcast, you’ll hear part one of my interview with Gregg, where I talk about understanding your workforce and improving your recruitment, development, and retention through gathering and implementing valuable feedback from employees.

4:23 - How I’d characterize the labor crunch today versus in 2022 and why it’s different

12:50 - How to use surveys and interviews to figure out what you need to do to build your brand

18:48 - How affordable (or even free) software tools can help you survey and interview your workforce

23:59 - The benefit of a third-party interviewer and how interviews can help with brand messaging and talent acquisition

30:43 - How the ideal customer concept can help you identify the ideal person for your workforce

32:20 - The fine line you have to walk as you’re getting to know your employees

35:50 - The importance of having or working with someone who understands employer branding and marketing
