SUMMARY:Avoid Being Dumped for a Buck & a Truck
DESCRIPTION:Fire Sprinkler contractors\, like all construction trades\, are experiencing a severe lack of manpower at every business level. This shortage of manpower is compounded by inflation and the increasing cost of money and materials\, resulting in projects being canceled or on hold. All of these factors are holding back potential growth and expansion opportunities and seem out of our control. They are not. Our industry needs the introduction of new blood and training programs to sustain the workforce needs of AFSA members and the industry as a whole. This webinar will provide solutions by discussing the need to recruit\, grow and retain our workforce and stop paying more per hour for mediocrity and untrained workers. \nLearning Objectives: \nUpon completion of this webinar\, attendees will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the needs of the modern workforce as opposed to past practices and\nIdentify the cost of employee turnover and it’s impact on the company’s bottom line.\nCombine the benefits and opportunity for growth and professional development to show team members why staying for the long haul is more beneficial than the short-term gain of a buck and a truck.\nChoose training programs for long-term solutions to the manpower needs to become a farmer rather than a hunter.\n\nDetails:  \nRegistration Fees (per person): \nAFSA Member with no CEU: FREE\nAFSA Member with CEU: $25\nNon-Member: $250\nAHJ without CEU: FREE\nAHJ with CEU: $15 \nContinuing Education Credit: \nThis webinar offers: 0.1 CEUs\, 1.0 CPDs \nTo receive continuing education credits for the webinar\, you must do all of the following: \n\nRegister individually using your name that matches your fitter certification\, if applicable.\nConnect with your unique webinar link\nDo not share or use someone else’s unique webinar link.\nAttend the webinar in its entirety\nRespond to each checkpoint question\nSubmit a completed evaluation form within 14 days of the webinar\n\nPlease check your time zone to ensure you connect at the right time: \n9:00 AM – 10:00 AM Pacific Time\n10:00 AM – 11:00 AM Mountain Time\n11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Central Time\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM Eastern Time  \n Register
