As the American economy returns to full swing, American workers have been reimagining their return to the workplace. This is especially true for construction employees, who will be returning to a sector with significant projected growth but that is struggling to attract sufficiently skilled workers.
More than ever, American construction workers are expecting more from their employers. An increasing number of skilled tradesmen understand that their knowledge, experience, and work ethic may allow them to be more selective with the types of positions they take. As a result, construction companies across the board must reevaluate their mission statements, compensation package, and hiring practices in order to meet new expectations.
Wide Effect is a staffing agency with 60 years of experience serving construction contractors and companies across the US. Connect with us to gain access to fully vetted skilled workers ready to contribute to your latest construction project.
As the concept of the ideal employee is being redefined in the US, construction workers have begun asking for better working conditions from their employers. Companies that fail to adapt are facing difficulties in recruiting and retaining staff, while those accommodating worker expectations get to pick among the cream of the crop.
If your construction sites are not filling up as quickly as they used to, consider making changes to make your business more appealing to the best talent. Here are 5 ideas to get you started:
The days of posting an online job description on a job board and waiting for applicants to pour in are over. Job seekers, including those in the construction sector, are more sophisticated and informed, and will only cast their lot with the best. They are looking for companies that care about employees, offer room for advancement, and compensate justly. Proving to candidates that you check these boxes significantly increases your chances of landing talent that is both skilled and loyal.
