In this episode of BuildHERS Club, we sit down with Phyllis Werner, an industry expert with decades of experience in workforce development and construction leadership. Together, we explore one of the biggest challenges facing our industry today: the skilled labor shortage.
Phyllis brings insight into the root causes of the shortage, how it’s impacting builders and tradespeople, and what needs to change to bring more women, young people, and underrepresented groups into the trades. We also discuss practical solutions—from mentorship and education to company culture shifts—and why the future of the industry depends on building a more inclusive, empowered workforce.
Whether you're a builder, designer, or tradeswoman, this episode is a must-listen for anyone invested in the future of construction.
