Answering common questions about our construction HR services

HR plays a vital role in construction by managing the workforce. Construction HR services include handling recruitment, payroll, employee relations, and compliance with employment law. Construction HR is responsible for ensuring health and safety regulations are followed, helping to identify and manage risks, as well as providing necessary training for employees. HR will also be responsible for managing contracts, which can be complex when a team includes both permanent and temporary workers. A dedicated HR team can manage any disputes that may arise, ensuring all employees are treated fairly and in line with employment regulations. Overall, HR will help to contribute to a safer, more efficient working environment.

Opting to outsource HR functions means construction companies can focus on core business operations, safe in the knowledge that the experts will be taking care of complex tasks such as payroll, employment contracts, and compliance. Outsourcing HR can help reduce administrative costs by streamlining HR processes, as well as keeping your construction business compliant with complicated employment laws and regulations.

We understand that high employee turnover can be a challenge in the construction industry. That’s why it’s important to start with an effective recruitment process. The Vero Recruit team can handle everything from sourcing the right skilled workers to onboarding, along with implementing effective employee engagement and development programmes to boost employee satisfaction and retention.

Outsourcing construction HR services can be a cost-effective solution for even smaller firms. At Vero HR, we’ll tailor our services to your needs, scaling up or down as required to adapt to changing demands. This removes the need for an in-house team and ensures the experts with the necessary specialist knowledge take care of your people matters, ensuring your business remains compliant and competitive.

Yes – at Vero HR, we’ll tailor our construction HR services to your specific business needs. We take a flexible approach to our service offerings, so you can choose the HR functions you want managed by our professionals, whilst retaining any other aspects you’d prefer to manage in-house.
