- Recruiting Business Development professionals and Project Managers that have Industrial Construction experience.
- Succession Planning
- Developing a formal program for interns and new grads so that they will do real industry work and learn a lot about our business; not just make copies and that type of thing.
- Improving our onboarding
- Marketing our company; I work for a great company that has amazing branding already, but I want to get the word out about it, so everyone else knows what a fabulous company this is.
- Finding a source of good, current salary survey info that covers the construction industry in Houston, TX and throughout the US.
- Improving Training and Development programs
- Finding good HR training programs for myself (especially talent attraction and retention related)
- Instituting Mentorship and Buddy programs
- Finding good constructions related associations to join and attend conferences / seminars to network with others in the industry and make good contacts to potentially recruit for our organization
- Developing a network of recruiters who work at my competitors so we let them know when we are ending projects so they can pick up some of the people we are laying off, and they can do the same. (It's normal for construction industry personnel to work short-term projects and move around a lot.) Also, anything else that can help reduce our unemployment claims. (We have very low turnover for regular positions; it's just the project work.)
- Finding ways to make the transition to paperless go more quickly. We are currently scanning in all new employee files and have been for the last couple of years, but we have tons of older files to get scanned in.
Please comment if you have any suggestions to give me in any of these areas. I can use all the help I can get.
