Stop Losing Good People: A Hands-On Workshop on Hiring, Onboarding & Retention for the Trades

2-hr hands-on workshop on employee onboarding and retention

Wednesday, September 30, 2026
8:30 AM - 10:30 AM (EDT)

Event Details

Construction firms nationwide are struggling — 92% can't fill open positions, and the industry needs 349,000 net new workers in 2026 alone, all while 41% of the current workforce heads toward retirement. This isn't a motivation problem; it's a systems problem. Join Business On Purpose coach Brent Whitaker for a 2-hour, hands-on workshop that gives owners and key leaders the tools to fix hiring and retention for good — no HR background required.

Walk away with:

  • A customizable hiring process template (5 steps your whole team can follow)
  • A 30-day onboarding checklist built specifically for the trades
  • A job scorecard framework for any role in your business
  • A clear understanding of what actually drives retention (hint: it beats pay 2:1)
  • A concrete next step tailored to your own business

Format: Short teaching blocks + hands-on work time — you leave with completed, customized tools, not just notes.
