Express Experts Weigh In
_____________________
Malvern, PA, 9/5/2017 – Express Employment Professionals released a new white paper offering 10 places to grow the workforce at a time of low unemployment.
With unemployment hitting new lows and job openings hitting new highs, finding workers can be a near-impossible task for some employers. To grow the workforce, policymakers and employers need to be prepared to rethink long-held assumptions and challenge conventional wisdom.
The new paper, titled, “Help Wanted: A Road Map to Finding More Workers,” is informed by the experiences of Express owners from across the country and identifies 10 areas for policymakers and employers to grow the workforce:
- Restructure Assistance Programs
- Add Work Requirements to Assistance Programs
- Improve Access to Training and Re-Training Programs
- Fight the Opioid Crisis
- Use Drug Testing in Smarter Ways
- Modernize Disability Programs
- Improve Workplace Flexibility
- “Ban the Box” or Questions About Criminal Records
- Improve the Immigration System
- Pay Higher Wages and Promote Worker Growth
