Culture Change & Skills Hub
The industry faces workforce shortages, but one of the problems is keeping talent once they arrive. Burnout, poor leadership, job insecurity, and outdated working models drive skilled workers away. This session looks at how better leadership, career progression, and mental health support can fix retention issues.
Discussion Points: - What are the biggest reasons skilled workers are leaving? - How do we create career development pathways to make construction a lifelong career? - Should pay structures be re-evaluated to retain talent? - What lessons can we learn from other industries?
