Even before the pandemic, the number-one challenge for industries across the board was workforce. Now, with a variety of ways businesses and workers are returning, whether that be at home, in the office, a hybrid situation or not at all, that challenge is even greater. At Weyerhaeuser Industrial Communities, we strategically align with workforce partners, educational institutions and economic development organizations to provide the best resources to secure and maintain a strong workforce. |
