Digital, work life balance, and sustainability
- Build strategic partnerships with schools, universities, local charities, museums, vocational colleges to educate not just students but parents and teachers about the industry and help clarify the perception of working in a construction industry;
- Create long term relationships with the institutions to share informed employer intelligence, information on local jobs and capture these discussions within the curriculum;
- Increase focus on apprenticeships, vocational training for the skillsets of the future – not a task-based approach to delivery but a purpose led style of industry placement;
- Within the business, diversify the hiring pool to include those who did not have the opportunity or self-belief to go to a private school, University etc;
- Re-think the definition of ‘productivity’ as a measure of value in the business – invest in training at a 50:50 rate and generate trust based working values.
- Open your mind and be humble
- Have a purpose & think about your responsibility to the world and its people.
- Voice your opinion, and fight for your rights - yes you have them, and will have to fight for them
- Challenge your seniors to do better – reverse mentoring is key
- Spend time to understand what you want from your job
- Understand others – learn empathy
- Align yourself with people you respect
- Share your knowledge transparently and ask questions freely without concern of being judged
- When you lose hope, look to the future and create it.
