Growing a Greater Greenville by the Greenville Chamber

Today we talk with Chris Richardson, the COO of BDV Solutions, an organization reshaping the labor landscape via unique immigration workforce solutions. We explore the pressing issue of labor shortages and how Richardson's team is pioneering resolution pathways by connecting foreign nationals with local and national businesses in need. This episode offers a unique peek into the pragmatic application of immigration, unraveling its transformative potential for community growth, and breathing new life into our local economy.

As we traverse the changing workforce demographics, from the Baby Boomer retirements to the influx of younger generations, Richardson shares indispensable insights on fostering inter-generational understanding and collaboration. We then take a deep dive into immigration reform, BDV Solutions' advocacy in Washington, DC, challenging preconceived notions and inspiring a wider understanding of immigration beyond the typical headlines.
