It is forecast that an extra 251,500 construction workers will be needed by 2028 to meet the expected levels of work.
But what can construction employers do?
Retention Strategies - Companies need to stop workers from leaving by offering them attractive company benefits, wellbeing polices and remuneration packages.
Engage with a younger generation - Employers can attract a younger audience by offering them work flexibility, part time hours, job sharing and a better work life balance.
Challenge negative perceptions - Currently 69% of adults would not consider a construction career as they see it as stressful, unsafe and dirty.
Quicker recruitment perceptions - Reduce the recruitment process in half by having a swift interview schedule and prioritise onboarding.
Strategic recruitment - by only using specialist construction recruitment agencies.
