Weifield is proud to have recently authored an article that was published in the national Electrical & Maintenance (EC&M) magazine on the topic of addressing electrical construction recruiting shortages with a flexible work model approach!
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the construction industry is expected to need approximately 200,000 new workers in 2024 to address the workforce shortage — and about 151,400 openings for construction laborers and helpers are projected each year, on average, until 2032.
“As a result of the compelling data and research, Weifield Group is taking active steps toward industry-wide adoption of flexible work as a means of attracting and retaining talent. The reason is simple. Research shows that whoever solves the flexible work issue first will get the workers,” the article states.
Electrical Construction & Maintenance (EC&M) magazine — published monthly since 1901 — is the technical authority for 130,000+ electrical professionals, including 80,000+ subscribers in electrical contracting firms (reaching all NECA and IEC member firms), 30,000+ subscribers in industrial plants and in commercial/ institutional facilities with 100+ employees (93% coverage of Fortune 1000 firms), and nearly 20,000 consulting electrical engineers.
Employers in the electrical industry that are willing to explore new ways of collectively recruiting and retaining talent, can ensure the well-being and performance of individuals and teams while protecting the future of our industry.
