The shortage of skilled craft professionals is not just a construction industry issue – it’s a nationwide issue that affects our collective communities on everything from public safety to energy efficiency. Public officials everywhere have a vested interest in allocating resources to skilled craft and technical workforce development. But as with any legislative issue, it’s up to industry leaders to make their voices heard and convince lawmakers to make this work a priority. As a leading craft employer in the U.S., we annually hire over 15,000 skilled workers for projects across the nation — and we also are leaders in advocating for craft careers. Our Maintenance and Construction division recently published an eBook sharing our views on workforce development as well as tips for advocating for legislative action, among other ideas, that leaders can employ in their own workplaces and communities. Download our eBook and join us in closing the skilled craft gap with strategies and solutions aimed at cultivating the next generation of skilled labor who will help modernize America and build our future! https://hubs.ly/Q02R_yqN0 #SkilledCraft #CraftCareers #WorkforceDevelopment #ConstructionJobs

We're fortunate to have many employees who began their Day & Zimmermann journey as interns before transitioning into full-time roles - including Michael Stedman, Digital Marketing Specialist for Yoh, A Day & Zimmermann Company, Michael joined D&Z about three years ago as a marketing co-op student, helping to grow the Yoh brand through social media channels, blogs and other content while gaining hands-on experience and establishing relationships across the company. Now a full-time member of Yoh's marketing team, he enjoys taking on larger projects to drive business growth and building upon his previous internship experience. For interns looking to take their current role to the next level, Michael shares the following advice: "Be vocal. Volunteer yourself for projects to show your initiative and willingness to learn. Keep in touch with your boss and colleagues after your internship ends, even informally." #DZProud #Internship #Growth

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, construction and extraction has the unfortunate distinction of being the No. 1 occupational group with male suicides. Suicide Prevention Month is a time to reflect on how mental health tragedies impact us all and present an elevated risk for men working in construction. D&Z’s Thomas Ensminger, PMP reminds us that especially in this business, we need to look out for each other. We need to make it clear that asking for help is an act of courage not weakness. #BeThe1To #StopSuicide #TalkAwayTheDark #MentalHealthMatters #ConstructionSafety #WhyNotZero

Be the one to shine an encouraging light on personal struggles and send a clear, hopeful message that help is available and suicide can be prevented. Suicide Prevention Month is a time to reflect on how mental illness impacts all of us, especially those in the construction industry where suicide occurs in 53 out of every 100,000 workers. Day & Zimmermann values the unique voice of every employee and, as Michael Millsap reminds us, that uniqueness extends to our individual needs. Let someone who is struggling know different avenues for help are available to them. #BeThe1To #StopSuicide #TalkAwayTheDark #MentalHealthMatters #ConstructionSafety #WhyNotZero

Today's workforce is more multigenerational than ever. As Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, Millennials and Gen Zers continue to work side by side, differing perspectives and values are inevitable. To maximize this diversity of thought, organizations must promote intergenerational collaboration, mutual learning, and a culture of inclusivity and openness. Check out a recent blog from our Young Professionals Resource Group (YPRG) about the steps we're taking to effectively bridge the generational gaps in our workplace: https://hubs.ly/Q02QLBKS0 #YoungProfessionals #GenerationalGap #IntergenerationalCollaboration
