Today’s construction companies face a wide range of HR challenges, from regulations to wage and hour issues to workplace safety. Things move fast in labor-intensive industries like construction, a lesson that companies learned firsthand amidst the upheaval of the coronavirus pandemic. Companies that have been using the same methods and approaches year after year to manage their human capital are at risk of falling behind.

In addition to contending with the unique regulations at the federal, state, and local levels, builders must also recognize the needs of a new and expanding workforce, which may differ from prior generations. Adaptability and innovation will help companies earn a reputation as an employer of choice and attract the attention of top talent.

• Workforce management
