The construction sector and built environment faces a huge skills shortage. Companies are constantly looking to retain existing staff and attract new, skilled talent, to join them. While the issue of introducing new people into the sector is critically important, many companies need to recruit NOW!
HR and recruitment specialist, Randstad and marketing, branding and communications expert, Bradley O’Mahoney, operate extensively in construction and the built environment and are collaborating on a series of workshops over the course of 2025. They will address the huge skills gap in the construction sector and how employer branding and more meaningful insights into the recruitment process are crucial when it comes to attracting and retaining a skilled workforce.
In the first workshop they addressed how to stand out as an employer of choice to ensure a potential recruit picks your firm and not another.
This workshop, Empowering Retention: Cultivating a Thriving Workforce takes place 3rd September at Evolve Centre from 8.30am – 11am.
Workshop Objectives:
● Understand the significant financial impact of employee turnover
● Key drivers of employee motivation, buy-in and purpose
● Develop strategies for fostering trust and effective communication
● Address employee challenges and align individual goals with organisational objectives
● Empower employees to “control their narrative” and contribute to a positive work environment
● Articulate and strengthen employer branding
● Define and work towards becoming an “employer of choice.”
● Successful retention strategies implemented across various industries.
