Why Construction Labor Retention is More than Just a “Gen Z” Trend Employee turnover in the construction industry is a rising concern, and it’s no secret that the impact can be severe. There’s a lot of advice out there focused on adapting to younger generations’ needs, but in reality, the desire for motivation, purpose, and recognition isn’t new. It’s human. When workers feel valued and inspired, they’re more productive and more willing to commit. Retention doesn’t mean jumping through hoops to please everyone but rather creating an environment that’s inclusive, supportive, and forward-thinking for all. Let’s get practical. Reducing turnover starts with actively working to increase retention. Read this blog post if this is something you and your business are interested in. https://lnkd.in/g6hY2-QW

A few days ago, I hosted a webinar with my long-time friend and business partner, John Enns, on the importance of a solid tech stack and how it can help construction companies attract top talent. In our conversation, we discovered that many small-to-medium construction businesses have little to no understanding of what a tech stack entails. As a result, they often have various parts of their business scattered across multiple systems. While things might seem to be running smoothly on the surface, I’ve seen firsthand that there’s almost always a faster, more efficient way to manage daily operations. In the webinar, John and I demystify the concept of a tech stack and provide practical guidance on how to build one that’s right for your business. We cover why a well-tailored system is not just a nice-to-have but a vital tool for improving workflows, enhancing productivity, and ultimately driving growth. If you're looking to streamline your operations and drive profitability, feel free to reach out—we’re here to help.

#PMTIPOFTHEWEEK Establishing clear and structured communication channels between the field and the office is essential for smooth project operations. Leverage technology to keep everyone on the same page and ensure that all updates, decisions, and progress are properly documented. This not only improves transparency but also minimizes misunderstandings and keeps projects moving forward efficiently. Good communication is the backbone of successful project management! #DigitalTransformation #ConstructionConsulting #TheNetEffect #CanadianBusiness #TechInConstruction

Imagine a construction site where AI predicts potential delays, enhances safety, and streamlines project workflows—all in real-time. AI isn’t just a trend; it’s revolutionizing the way the construction industry operates, making projects more efficient, cost-effective, and safer. The future of building is here, and it’s powered by data. According to our research, many companies are taking a wait-and-see approach, preferring to gather more information and observe the outcomes of early adopters before making substantial investments into AI/ML.

#PMTIPOFTHEWEEK Regularly reviewing project progress against objectives is key to staying on track. Set clear milestones, and schedule periodic check-ins to evaluate how far you've come and what adjustments need to be made. By consistently assessing your approach, you can proactively address potential roadblocks, reallocate resources if necessary, and ensure the project remains aligned with its goals. Adaptability is crucial for delivering successful outcomes! #DigitalTransformation #ConstructionConsulting #TheNetEffect #CanadianBusiness #TechInConstruction
