Challenges of recruiting manpower in the contracting industry
Connect workforce planning to project stages, skills and dates, allowing for training and supervision. Labour markets differ by location and trade.
Analyse workforce needs from programme, required skills, availability, training, safety and employment terms. Use dated, relevant market data rather than presenting an old annual forecast as current reality or a new prediction.
Review recruitment difficulties through pay, working conditions, development and demand continuity. Do not assume an entire age group retires on one date or that a missing skill prevents a worker from being trained.
