The challenges of managing labor.

Labor is a significant problem in the landscaping industry, and as we heard at the Aspire IGNITE! client conference, it will take at least a few years for robots to ride to the rescue.

In all places, wages are rising quickly and certainly faster than most companies are increasing prices. In most places, people are in short supply. Nationally, great uncertainty related to immigration and the H2B visa program continues.

These labor issues demand a shift in the business strategy of most landscape companies.


In this two-part webinar series, Kevin Kehoe and Greg Herring will discuss key strategic shifts for companies to consider in light of these labor challenges, including:

Pricing

  • The role of brand and reputation in pricing
  • When to recalculate pricing
  • Repricing existing maintenance contracts

Business strategy

  • Rethinking labor hour management in light of the labor constraints
  • Rethinking the use of subcontractors
  • Rethinking your revenue mix
  • Rethinking the role of materials in your business strategy
  • Rethinking growth
  • Three strategic questions to answer
