From your perspective, what are the most pressing people challenges facing Construction firms right now?

Many construction companies are still facing shortages in hiring trade positions. This tightness of the labor market makes attraction and retention even harder since the pool of talent is so small compared to the need. 

What decisions or trade‑offs do you see HR leaders needing to make over the next 12–24 months that will have the biggest long‑term impact?

HR leaders will need to make decisions around where to invest in talent, how to continue to re-skill and up-skill, ensure they have the most attractive cultures and make sure their workforce is ready for the future. HR leaders need to leverage how AI can help their business from a strategic and tactical level. They will need to make sure this is done safely and with the largest impacts in mind.
