The most critical factor in project delivery is effective decision-making. Critical decisions must be made throughout a project lifecycle, but frequently they are made with little more than the experience held in the collective memory of project teams. Collaboration, communication, and early teaming focused on critical decisions are key to project success. Technology is deployed in all phases, but how are we connecting the data to decision-making? The answers lie in understanding the connective tissue that transforms the data into information. In this presentation, we will present strategies to enable construction teams to improve decision-making. This event is free to ABC members only.

The construction industry labor market remains as tight as ever. Many employers are scrambling to fill positions. Part of this labor scramble involves the proper use of background checks. It also frequently involves navigating arrest and conviction record issues. The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s decision in Cree v. LIRC has refined the analysis employers must use and a court of appeals decision sheds some additional guidance on arrest record issues. This session will review and explain the current state of arrest and conviction record law in Wisconsin, and discuss the background check process and pitfalls, including a brief review of the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act).

In 2021-2022 Unions have filed hundreds of representation petitions at Starbucks and have won the majority of those elections. Many of the workers voting in these elections are younger workers. Construction employers should take note of this growing trend and review their employee relations strategies to consider the issues that have led Starbucks workers to seek union representation. This seminar will help employers identify areas they might consider focusing on and provide pointers how to legally prepare for such actions.
