If you find yourself struggling with the high cost of maintaining full-time employees due to rising insurance rates, healthcare costs and other benefits, join us for this eye-opening session that compares the costs of full-time employees versus trade contractors. While
there is no doubt of the value in having your own dedicated staff, for many, the economy has dictated adjustments to how you address personnel decisions in order to remain competitive. Using the real-life experiences of one builder who went from 22 full-time
employees (now 22 competitors) to working exclusively with trade contractors, you’ll get a first-hand look at how the two labor models compare. You’ll learn how by applying the Golden Rule to your trades you can achieve the same level of commitment as full-time employees without the large overhead cost, and see how this change, although scary, can improve efficiency, competitive advantage and profits almost immediately.
