Labor is the #1 risk or reward on projects; from chaos to control. The chaos of labor planning is costing contractors more than ever; but should be their greatest opportunity. The Labor Operations Master Class shares industry best practices and repeatable strategies to take control of labor planning, forecasting and productivity.

Join RIVET who will share industry-best practices around labor planning (forecasting, scheduling, productivity/WIP-alignment, team processes, etc.) accumulated from hundreds of self-performing contractors across the globe. This Labor Operations Master Class is a chance for contractors to learn industry trends and best practices around labor operations; as well as areas of opportunity where labor profits are typically lost, or uncovered. What members will learn in this course:

  • Labor Exit-Strategies: Team plans for ramp-down & aligning labor to the WIP to combat profit-fade
  • Job Saturation & Compression: Early-warnings & mitigation measures for job saturation & compression
  • The Labor Planning Triangle: From ‘project watchers’ to ‘project managers’
