We all know that construction companies have been struggling to hire new talent in recent years. As older employees retire, the need to recruit the younger workforce is a priority. Not only do construction companies need to hire new workers, but they also need to keep them on for the long term. This article in Construction Business Owner highlights the importance of upskilling construction employees as a strategic business approach.

The interest in wellness for residential architecture has never been greater. This is being seen in everything from connections to nature and spa-inspired earth tones in new paint colors of the year to AIA’s most recent Home Design Trends survey noting increased daylighting as a leading trend. Additionally, this trend comes at a time when many of us spend 90 percent of our time indoors. This article in Architect Magazine highlights some of the ways in which architecture is prioritizing its occupant’s well-being.
