FUTURE PROOFING
Richard Clement , Deputy General Manager at Smart Construction people towards the industry . This will help address the issue in the long run , but there is still a long way to go .’’
How can upskilling the workforce eliminate these challenges ?
Upskilling the workforce is essential in eliminating future recruitment challenges and costs . As the industry becomes more technologically advanced , construction professionals need to be equipped with the right knowledge and skills to implement this . This will allow processes to run smoothly , maximising profitability and ultimately saving time .
Upskilling and training can often be seen as a negative with workers being off-site for days at a time which can have a knock-on effect on profit and project timelines . However , the industry ’ s suppliers are doing their best to make digital solutions that are easy to use and require minimal training , like Smart Construction ’ s Dashboard . This solution means workers require minimal training and managers see maximum results , ensuring job sites continue to run smoothly whilst strengthening your workforce .
Clement added : ‘’ Investing in the workforce ’ s development can increase employee retention by making employees feel more valued . When teams receive training and development opportunities , they tend to become more loyal to a business and perform better in their respective fields . This , in turn , reduces future recruitment costs , improves employee retention , improves the future workforce and lowers employee replacement costs .’’
