R&R is officially accepting nominations for the 2022 Ladder Award through May 30.

This special-edition episode features a prestigious panel of Ladder Award finalists from 2021 and 2020. They share innovative ways they are helping advance the property restoration industry, as well as their vision for its future. 

Here she shares: the biggest lesson she’s learned, tips for young people considering a career in restoration, and suggestions for under-35s who want to advance as she has.

Embracing the future of the restoration industry is as imperative as ever. At a time when finding skilled workers, retaining labor and adopting new technology are among the top challenges restoration companies face, the unique traits of Millennials and Generation Z pose great promise.

As we wade through the final two months of 2020, there is much to reflect on and remember, even as most of us likely long for the start of a new year. 

Five years ago, millennials surpassed baby boomers as the largest living generation. Economists predict by the end of this year, millennials will officially comprise half of the U.S. workforce.

For the last five years, we have dedicated an issue of R&R to celebrating Women in Restoration. This year, we are thrilled to celebrate BELFOR’s technical trainer, Cara Driscoll. You can read more about her journey in the restoration industry here.
