With the announcement of Blue Oval City, BHCC recognizes the need to work very closely with existing industry to show that the community still very much values them and sees their success as vital and important to the community. Local companies know the support they received during the recruitment process. BHCC, therefore, has created TEAM Haywood County to work with, and within, the communities existing industries to help bring the same attention to their needs and concerns now as was done prior their arrival. TEAM Haywood County will also work to help find ways to address these concerns and needs.
How will TEAM Haywood County do this? The TEAM will stay in regular contact with area industrial leaders in a variety of ways including personal visits and email, bi-monthly plant roundtables, bi-monthly industrial human resources meetings, bi- monthly safety managers meetings and will assist in energy efficient audits and more. Additionally, TEAM Haywood County will make corporate office visits throughout the year as seen needed to foster relationships with existing companies. Training will be offered to industrial leaders on topics such as: Supervisor Training, Healthcare Reform Updates and other topics as requested by local companies.
Our existing industry base will continue to thrive here as a result of the business environment that has been afforded them. TEAM Haywood County will work to make sure their concerns and needs are addressed.
