The built environment sector is changing.

WORKFORCE & SKILLS
It is easier for larger businesses to make the most of apprenticeships and structured work experience programmes. But it is small and growing SMEs that are competing for top talent. Good estimators, site managers and surveyors are like hen’s teeth.
How robust is your recruitment strategy? Do you know how to attract, motivate and retain the right people?
Do the right people understand what makes you different, and somewhere that will invest in their future?
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
Getting more women into construction, civil engineering and architecture is imperative. But it is easier said than done. Box-ticking is pointless, but a strategic view on how to tap into energetic, productive, focused people is what separates the good from the great. Regardless of age, gender, social background, sexuality, ethnicity or favourite Spice Girl – your business and its culture will thrive if it gets the best from everyone.
What does this mean for you, and are your competitors leaving you behind?
SUSTAINABILITY
Buildings and roads are carbon intensive. Your customers want cheap and quick. How do you square that circle?
Now is the time to be brave, and to get ahead of the conversation. Your future customers want carbon neutral builds with zero waste, but you need to be getting ready for them now.
You can’t do everything all at once, so how are you making smart business decisions that will genuinely change the game?
