Plant Tour Focus Group - Archmill House 2021

WMCO Plant Tour Focus Group – Archmill House – LIVE STREAM & IN-PERSON

  • Members Only, News, Past Events

The WMCO, in partnership with Archmill House, brought forward a first ever Hybrid – Plant Tour Focus Group event recently this past December. The event successfully bridged the challenge of collaborating our online attendance with the on-site attending members for the tour. 

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic began, the trade skills sectors faced headwinds of sourcing skilled labor effectively. As the dramatic rise in wood products demand surged through the past two years, manufacturers continued to struggle to source talented and capable workers. 

The featured topic of the recent Hybrid Plant Tour brought together wood manufacturers of all sizes to review what methods are producing results to address the labor shortage.

Archmill House - Leading off the tour was Director of Operations, Curtis Buchan

Leading off the tour was Director of Operations, Curtis Buchan providing insight into how Archmill House has reached the level of success of where they are today. The event began with a live feed virtual walk-through with the tour host accompanied by the in-person attendees.

The live engagement of Q&A throughout the tour and group discussion was provided via a live two-way audio feed to Mr. Curtis Buchan, our tour host, via our Zoom meeting facilitator, WMCO CEO Mike Baker, with Ryan Tabone WMCO Program Coordinator & Advisor managing the audio and video feed. 

Members shared insights to milestones of significance that impacted their employee recruiting and recruiting services that have had a positive impact on their talent sourcing efforts. In addition, other manufacturers shared their best practices of how they have maintained the retention of their workforce. 

Overall, feedback from the attendees, both in-person and online, was positive on how the event was facilitated. Improvements are in the works to enhance the next event’s user experience. If you missed the event and are a WMCO member, you can catch it on demand in the members-only area.
