Synopsis

Sophisticated people management techniques may seem an irrelevant luxury in the construction industry. Yet, companies compelled to cut their workforces are now looking for ways to reward, motivate and retain the staff (and operatives) they depend on for success. This volume is equally suited to aspiring personnel specialists with a background in the industry, practitioners seeking solutions to major challenges and students on Construction or Built Environment courses. After an overview of the scene, the book examines in depth the core areas of recruitment, compensation, individual and collective employee relations, health and safety and the international dimension. It considers: labour markets and the tax implications of using "self-employed" workers; changing opportunities for women; and the importance of investing in training and development. Case studies from Drivers Jonas, Tarmac and Shepherd Construction spell out key messages about communications and the relevance of Investors in People. Human resource management, the authors argue, cannot be adopted as a simplistic recipe; it can help the construction industry maximize the potential of its people.
