Keith Reester, a workforce development expert and leadership consultant with deep experience in the asphalt, paving and aggregates industry, shares that millennials and marijuana are the top two issues identified in a survey he conducted of paving companies across the U.S. about the workforce challenges they face. The presentation of his survey's conclusions is just one of many education sessions on topics including people, paving, plants, business management and technology that are scheduled at World of Asphalt, March 6-8 in Houston, TX.

“We’re going to take a look at what some of the best practices are to recruit and retain people on your team,” Reester says. “What are best in class companies doing to separate themselves from the pack?”

While Reester’s presentation at WOA will review the findings of his survey in detail, it’s worth exploring some of the implications in advance.
