Construction should adopt a coaching style of management to make every person count
I get cross when I hear it said that the industry needs so many thousand more workers within the next few years or we are all doomed. It’s not the industry that needs talented staff – “the industry” is an abstraction; it doesn’t care who works in it. Instead, it is companies that need talent – and your company included.
Nor is it the fault of the industry that talented young people avoid construction. That is down to the leadership of the companies lacking sufficient talent.
All the companies included in Building’s guide completed an in-depth survey – here we dig into the data to find key trends in hybrid working, training programmes, wellbeing initiatives and EDI policies
