How to Beat the Construction Labor Shortage? Answer: Youth and Technology | Trimble

Is your website visually appealing? If your website is not visually appealing and easy to navigate, you are likely chasing away prospective employees. The same goes for your social media accounts. The new generations of construction workers are looking to work for organizations that use technology and are up to date on modern processes. This includes use of mobile technologies for nearly everything — including the hiring process. If your website and social accounts don’t reflect this advancement, young professionals are less likely to apply to work for your company.
Is your recruiting and onboarding easy? Let’s face it, very few people want to fill out stacks of paper when applying for a job or completing onboarding for a new position. Especially when these processes can be digitized and streamlined through cloud-based HR software, like Viewpoint HR Management. If young construction workers are asked to fill out a lengthy application or sit and fill out stacks on onboarding paperwork, the chances of them turning down the job or immediately beginning the search for a new position are high.
Are you able to effectively protect employee data? All employees want to feel that their data is safe. This is especially true for younger employees who are used to highly-secure technology protecting their sensitive information. A lack of technology and modern processes may cause prospective employees to feel uneasy about working for your company. This goes for project and other company information as well. Without the proper software in place to keep sensitive information safe, employees will likely shy away from job opportunities.
Are your processes streamlined? Due to the high use of technology by younger generations, young construction professionals are used to easy, simplified processes. Through working with technology their entire lives, these workers expect many routine processes and tasks to be automated. If your company lacks modern software which causes processes to be dragged out into unnecessary steps, young construction professionals are going to lose motivation and likely move to a modernized company.
Are you using the newest technologies? Maybe your website is up to date and your job applications are online, but you still aren’t optimizing your day to day operations with modern technology. Without the use of the newest software solutions that leverage real-time, connected data and workflows, young construction workers are going to be left disappointed and unmotivated. In order to move forward and remain relevant, construction companies need to adopt modern solutions that not only meet these demands, but offer challenges and inspiration to do even more. Not only will this help retain a new generation of workers, but it will also benefit the organization in a multitude of other ways.
