2017 Talent Development Study
Findings from this year’s talent development study paint a mixed picture of how construction firms are addressing people development. In many cases, the topics of human resources (HR) and talent development are still being tackled in a very tactical, piecemeal manner, at best. Leading firms, however, recognize the need for a systematic and strategic approach and are investing in the necessary people and resources to set up long-term talent management programs.
Looking ahead, the construction industry must redefine the role of human resources in a way that gives HR leaders a seat at the senior leadership table. Tomorrow’s successful construction leaders will find ways to effectively blend the strategies, practices and processes needed to overcome people obstacles and create a sustainable competitive edge for their organizations.
