Common Issues With Human Resource Management In the Construction Industry
In the construction industry, the pressure to finish important projects on deadline and the need to create a safe work environment for your employees can put a lot of stress on business owners. Many do not have the time or resources to effectively manage all of these areas, which can lead to serious issues regarding:
Recruitment
Jobs for construction workers are projected to grow 11% through 2028, much faster than the average for all occupations. Yet, the industry is facing a serious labor shortage, with as many as 449,000 positions that went unfilled in April 2022.
Time and Attendance
The project-driven nature of construction work can makes time and attendance tracking difficult to manage, affecting deadlines and labor regulation adherence.
Safety and Workers’ Compensation
In this high-risk industry, employers often find it difficult to maintain a healthy workforce and keep workers’ compensation costs low.
Worker Classification
Misclassifying worker employment can lead to issues from Department of Labor including unpaid wages, failure to withhold taxes, as well as other punitive damages.
