FMI Releases Quarterly Publication: The Talent Challenge – Winning in the New Reality

Raleigh, North Carolina – March 22nd, 2016. FMI Corporation, the leading provider of management consulting, investment banking and people development services to the engineering and construction industry, is pleased to announce the release of its first Quarterly issue for 2016. The publication (co-sponsored by Zurich) comprises a collection of industry insights and strategies focused on one of the engineering and construction industry’s biggest challenges: its people.

Chris Daum, FMI’s CEO, states, “Today’s engineering and construction industry talent challenges are not new. However, we are at a critical inflection point: Ten thousand baby boomers are retiring daily across the U.S., leaving behind an incredible void of knowledge and experience in our industry. And there is no magic bullet to solve this problem anytime soon.”

The Quarterly presents a variety of approaches and strategies for confronting talent challenges at different organizational levels. Article topics are organized around four key industry issues:

  • Attracting and retaining a young workforce
  • Lack of skilled workers
  • Retiring boomers and succession planning
  • The increase in human risks (opioid abuse)

Sabine Hoover, FMI’s content director and chief editor for the Quarterly explains, “The solutions and strategies that we present in this Quarterly are intended to help and inform readers as they deal with talent challenges in their daily conversations and decision-making. This is by no means an exhaustive list of solutions but instead a springboard for starting an industry-wide conversation on how to tackle this serious problem.
