Check on the October issue of Read.Watch.Listen! Last month, we shared resources about inclusive recruitment and hiring practices. This month, we are going to continue this conversation and share resources for improving retention in structural engineering firms. Even if a firm incorporates an inclusive hiring process, they must also develop equitable policies and a welcoming culture if they want to improve retention of their employees. https://lnkd.in/gWFTwc8m Engineering firms are currently facing a shortage of engineers, as documented by ASCE: https://lnkd.in/gtESg7W2. This shortage is expected to get worse, as Higher Education has seen a decrease in enrollment since the pandemic and is anticipating a significant, additional enrollment decrease in 2025. This so-called “enrollment cliff” is a result of the decrease in births from the 2008 Great Recession. As less students are graduating with engineering degrees, the competition for talent will increase, and improved recruitment and retention will be vital for the success of engineering firms. The following resources will help firm leaders understand the importance of equitable policies and welcoming cultures on employee retention. Read.Watch.Listen is a monthly forum hosted by the NCSEA SE3 Committee to share and promote conversations on diversity, equity and inclusion within the structural engineering profession. #se3 #ncsea #weSEEaboveandbeyond #engagement  #structuralengineers #structuralengineering #architecture #construction #education #diversity #equity #inclusion #dei #hiring #recruitment #retention #engineershortage #enrollmentcliff Priscilla Nguyen, P.E., S.E., Cervente Sudduth, PE ENV SP, Marcus Freeman, PE, Cambria Flowers, Amanda Dean, PE, Ryan Kersting, Angelina Stasulis, P.E., S.E., Dana McKane, PE, SE, Lauren Piepho, Sabrina Duk, PE, Natalie Tse, SE, LEED AP (she/her), Rose McClure (she/her), Angela Heinze, P.E., LEED AP, Angie Sommer, SE, Leo Panian, Bonnie Moss, P.E.
