Construction Industry

« The construction sector is currently shaped by two major trends: sustainability and technologization. Sustainability takes multiple forms. In core operations, energy renovation and eco-friendly construction require medium- to long-term resource planning and anticipation of their impact on skill development. Given the strong market fluctuations, businesses must proactively address talent shortages and implement long-term action plans to ensure human resources continue to meet business challenges. This is a complex task where strategic workforce planning and subsequent skill development initiatives play a crucial role. From an employee perspective, sustainability also means integrating an increasingly senior workforce into physically demanding jobs. This raises the issue of action plans and negotiations with social partners. Akoya’s expertise in talent pool management and social dialogue helps create long-term, constructive solutions with all stakeholders. The second major trend is the technologization of the sector. Technological advancements are profoundly transforming construction design, engineering, and project management. New construction methods are emerging, not only in building structures but also in the connectivity and maintenance of buildings. Once again, Akoya’s ability to align business strategy, organization, and talent development enables its clients to anticipate the strategic, organizational, and skill-related impacts of new technologies on their HR policies. »
