Helping Employers Address Labor Shortages
Are you having a hard time hiring new employees? Are you seeing current
employees becoming restless and looking for change?
Pressure on the workforce is the top concern keeping our chamber members
up at night. Hiring and retaining a skilled workforce can be difficult in the best
of times and as we know, there is no shortage of challenges that businesses are
currently facing.
The Grand Junction Chamber in collaboration with its workforce partners is
offering a special Industry Insights webinar, Tuesday, September 21st entitled,
“How to Become the Employer of Choice” in a tight labor market.
Curtis Englehart, Director of the Mesa County Workforce Center and Alma

share information and tips you can use to increase employee retention and
attract top talent to your company. The event will take place via zoom at 10:00

Vaccine Mandates at Work – What to Know

of questions that come to the surface. Is this legal? What rights as an employer do I have? What rights do my
employees have? What if my employees say “no”?
Join us and Western Colorado Contractors Association as we host a panel of
experts to discuss these questions and more!
Speakers to include:
• For legal insights – Dave Scanga, Esq from Hoskin, Farina & Kampf P.C.

Resource Association Vice President
