WF 2 The challenges of training, workforce and retention in winter maintenance
Wednesday, February 9 16:00 - 17:30 (Calgary)
Chair: Gregor Murray, Director of the School of Industrial Relations, Université de Montréal, Canada-Québec
For many countries such as Canada-Québec, the winter maintenance workforce is a recurring problem for road maintenance professionals today.
The training of this specific workforce, the workforce shortage, the means of retaining the workforce and the possible workforce attractiveness strategies will be addressed during the discussions through a panel of regional and international experts.
The objective will be to better understand the issues of the respective stakeholders and to share promising initiatives put forward in the organizations in order to identify best practices. It is also a question of deepening a reflection on the transformation of work and the impact of technological changes in all dimensions of the development of skills and expertise of individuals; in particular in their capacity to remain up to date and to pursue their continuous learning.
This session includes a panel discussion, which is shared here in an abridged version.
