Developing Effective Foremen – Lessons from the Field
Developing Effective Foremen – Lessons from the Field
Promoting your best craft professional doesn’t automatically prepare them to become an effective foreman. As contractors look for better ways to prepare new foremen for success, structured leadership development is becoming a growing priority. Yet more than half of construction foremen report lacking training in key areas such as communication and quality control, highlighting a persistent gap in foreman preparedness.
Join VP of Innovation & Advancement Jennifer Wilkerson, NCCER Master Trainer Mike Farrar and NCCER Research Assistant Sam O’Brien for a discussion on the challenges of developing effective foremen and what contractors are doing to address them. The conversation will examine the challenges contractors face, findings from recent NCCER research and lessons from contractors implementing structured foreman training, including a program where 94% of participants reported applying new skills on the jobsite.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
• Why technical expertise alone isn’t enough to prepare effective foremen
• How contractors are preparing new foremen for success through structured training
• How foreman development programs are improving productivity, quality and retention
• Practical lessons contractors can apply within their own organizations
