Workforce shortages do not appear overnight.

Before a shortage affects a turnaround or project schedule, there are signals:

• projects begin to overlap
• specific trades become harder to secure
• mobility patterns change
• contractors begin seeing increased pressure across multiple owners and sites.

Maintenance contractors are uniquely positioned to see many of those signals early because they work across projects, facilities, owners and trades every day.

That insight is driving AMCC’s forthcoming Workforce Warning Signals Report.

Better labour-demand intelligence has value across the maintenance industry.

Contractors can anticipate workforce requirements earlier. Owners gain better visibility into constraints that may affect schedules and execution. Training providers can better align enrolment and programming with emerging demand. Labour organizations can recruit and prepare members earlier. And governments can make workforce and labour-market decisions using emerging intelligence rather than relying solely on historical data.

The Workforce Warning Signals Report will be released later this fall.
