Training Resources and Programs that will Increase Skills, Productivity, and Team Retention

In this era of workforce shortages, it is challenging to train new staff and necessary to increase the skill
and productivity levels of your team. Your association membership gives you access to many training
resources and programs. In this session, Jeff will outline all the various programs, who they are geared
towards and how to take advantage of them. There are resources for all sectors of the industry
(retailers, growers, and landscapers). The programs have been proven to increase staff retention, skill,
productivity, and safety awareness. Special emphasis will be made on the new Landscape Horticulture
Certification Program, which has been recently streamlined and been made more accessible than ever.
