## About This Webinar

In today’s environment, hiring skilled facility workers is enough of a challenge, but it’s only the beginning of what can be a lengthy onboarding process. Many new hires lack required certifications and may only possess limited skills. Managers across industries are facing the need to ramp up their labor force and increase new-hire productivity. Training based on traditional one-on-one mentoring is time-consuming and costly, and with resources already limited, senior staff is being stretched thin.

In this webinar, QmodoAI’s Ed Zunzunegui interviews industry veterans Dave Krings, Energy Plant Engineer at Michigan Tech, Jason Bessner, Director of Facilities at Aspirus Health and Jeff Erickson, Account Manager at Keweenaw Automation UHL. They discuss current developments in facility management onboarding and how they are leveraging technology to streamline the process.

They cover the following topics:

- Evolution of the onboarding process  
- Available technologies to improve the process  
- Future outlook of facility management onboarding
