SUMMARY:From Offer to Onboard: A Proven Hiring and Retention Process
DESCRIPTION:Hiring the right person is only the first step- getting them engaged\, productive\, and committed is where the real challenge begins. In this workshop\, you’ll learn a proven\, repeatable process for not only attracting top talent but also setting them up for long-term success. Many HR studies have shown that the main reason for early turnover\, or new employee poor performance\, is related to a poor onboarding process. We’ll cover every step from the moment a candidate accepts your offer to their first months on the job. You’ll leave with a roadmap to strengthen your hiring and onboarding process so you can stop filling the same position over and over and start building a stable\, high-performing team. \nThis class will be hosted by ABC Eastern PA Member Paramount Business Development.

SUMMARY:Dealing with Delays from Contract Negotiations To Claims
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will provide strategies for contractors to protect themselves against the impacts of delays and will identify practical steps that a contractor can take at various stages of a project\, from bid to close-out\, to increase the contractor’s chances of successfully obtaining additional time and compensation.  The strategies presented will include: \n\naddressing schedule requirements at the proposal stage and negotiating contract language to reduce the risk of cost impacts associated with material shortages\, force majeure\, changes\, unforeseen conditions\, delays cause by others\, and non-excusable delays attributable to the contractor;\ndocumentation practices during the performance of the work to avoid contractual pitfalls and effectively supporting claims for additional time and compensation; and\,\nsuccessfully resolving disputes and pursuing claims for additional time and compensation as a result of delay and impacts.\n\n  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nProvide an understanding of basic “delay” related terminology;\nPresent bidding and pre-construction strategies to mitigate delay and impact risk;\nIdentify key contract language posing risk in relation to delays and impacts;\nProvide guidance on why and how certain standard contract language (i.e. “no damages for delay” clauses and liquidated damages clauses) should be modified in pre-contract negotiations;\nOutline steps for effectively documenting delay during construction to support requests for additional time and money;\nIdentify contractual pitfalls to be avoided during construction to preserve the contractor’s rights to additional time and money; and\,\nProvide guidance on proactively addressing disputes during performance of the work and after completion.\n\n  \nPresenter Information: Construction attorney and ABC Member J.T. Gallagher of Hendrick\, Phillips\, Salzman & Siegel\, P.C. began working in construction in the Lehigh Valley as a plumber’s helper during high school and has been working in the industry ever since.  After obtaining his B.S. in Building Construction from the University of Florida and working for several years in construction project management\, J.T. obtained his J.D.\, with honors\, from Emory University School of Law.  He now specializes in complex construction litigation and utilizes his industry experience to effectively represents contractors\, subcontractors\, specialty trade contractors\, design professionals\, and owners in relation to all aspects of public and private construction projects.

SUMMARY:Microsoft Excel Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:Most of us can work through Microsoft Excel basics – add a few cells together\, create basic formulas\, and even handle a bit of formatting and display control. When it comes to getting a smarter worksheet though\, one that will handle recurring data entry with reliable results\, we either push it off to our IT folks or default back to pen/paper and calculators. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to create your own worksheets that will easily handle the work you regularly do\, with just a few lines of data entry\, instead of spending hours figuring out the same things again and again\, by hand? Microsoft Excel is the most powerful tool in the Microsoft Office suite of products\, but it’s developed a reputation for being difficult to use and understand once you move past the basics – and nothing could be farther from the truth! This intermediate-level course will show you exactly how simple Microsoft Excel can be\, when you get proper training that is focused on how to use the program in the real world. \nThis eight (8) hour course is delivered in four (4)\, two-hour long sessions that students can attend online\, right from their own desk. A live instructor will explain the detailed functions\, and address questions as the class progresses. \nNote: Instructor will be using the latest version of Microsoft Excel and students are encouraged to use same. \nRecording: Registrants for this course will receive access to a recording of each session for 7 consecutive days. Access will start the next business day after the session ends. \nMust attend all four sessions. \nSession 1: Working with Templates\, Aug 20th \n\nUsing Excel Online Templates\nCreating Templates from a Worksheet\nSaving and Sharing Templates\nEditing Templates\nUsing Templates to Start New Worksheets\nTemplate Best Practices\n\nSession 2: Data Controls\, Aug 21st \n\nSorting Data\nFiltering Data\nFinding Data\nWorking With Conditional Formatting\nIntegrating Filters and Conditional Formatting\n\nSession 3: Conditional & Lookup Formulas\, Aug 27th \n\nLinking Workbooks and Worksheets via Formulas\nConditional Formulas & Functions\nLookup Formulas & Functions\nNesting Formulas\nOther Useful Formulas and Functions\n\nSession 4: Charts & Tables\, Aug 28th \n\nChart Planning\nCreating Basic Charts and Tables\nChart Types and Formats\nPivot Tables\nSharing Charts & Tables

SUMMARY:From Redlines to Finished CAD Work in Bluebeam Revu
DESCRIPTION:Redlines\, Markups\, As-Builts\, Submittals\, field notes – whatever it is you work with\, that data needs to make its way into the final CAD design one way or another. Most of us struggle\, using scans\, printed paper\, or just hoping the CAD folks look at our PDF markups. Wouldn’t it be nice to take your markup information right from Bluebeam Revu\, the system we all use\, and be able to bring it directly into any CAD system as real vector/line data at the right scale and location? We can show you how to make that happen. \nZenTek Consultants\, your certified Bluebeam Partner\, and nationally recognized experts on all design/build technologies\, will walk you through the process. This three (3) hour online class lets students learn\, right from their own desk. A live instructor will explain the detailed functions\, and address questions as the class progresses. \n​​Note: This class is for Bluebeam Revu for PC\, not the iPad. Instructor will be using Bluebeam Revu Complete 21 and some tools shown may not be available in Revu Standard or CAD. Looking for this class in Bluebeam Revu 2017\, 2018\, 2019\, or 20?
