Episode 015
This week we talked to Whitney Pyle, the co-owner of three successful businesses (WHEW! She’s busy!), including JGBowers, Inc., Advanced Cabinet Systems, and PYBO Management. Our conversation revolved around diversity, or lack thereof, in the woodworking industry.
During our conversation, Whitney shared statistics that demonstrate the homogeneity in the woodworking industry, as well as reasons why diversity should be a priority for manufacturing businesses.
Building a diverse workforce isn’t as tough as it may seem. One great hire can lead to organic changes in your workforce that can end up having a huge benefit on your company culture and bottom line.
