For landscaping companies, the continuing challenge of attracting and keeping good employees “is now nearing crisis levels,” according to the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP), which is offering two-day workshops in Dallas and Orlando to address the issue.
The Orlando session is set for Jan. 31-Feb. 2, while the Dallas workshop is scheduled for Feb. 21-23. The cost for members of NALP or the Harvest Group is $895. The price for non-members is $1,195. Those opting to participate in the facility tour will be charged an additional fee.

The following topics are among those that will be covered by the Harvest Group’s Ed Laflamme, Bill Arman and Steve Cesare:
- How to determine your “people” needs.
- How to find and recruit the people you need.
- How to screen, interview and evaluate your candidates.
