Peninsula Business support

HR in the construction industry can feel like a minefield...

When running construction projects, HR can play a major part in ensuring a safe and timely completion.

But with project managers focusing on completing a build as quickly as possible, human resources management (HR) can take a back seat. But, your legal responsibilities can start to stack up. And even with the best employees, your HR managers may struggle to stay on top of it all.

Within construction businesses, there are many challenges an HR department can face. These include:

Hiring construction managers, qualified construction workers, and independent contractors.

Project completion projections.

Filling skill gaps with employee training.

Providing salaries and benefits.

Complying with regulatory requirements.

That's why many businesses in the construction industry use Peninsula for their HR outsourcing. With our team of consultants, you can save both time and money, giving you more opportunities to build your construction business.

Create watertight HR policies for your construction company with our qualified consultants

Drafting and processing your legal documents can feel like a strain to any human resources manager. However, as a business owner, you have a legal requirement to provide certain documents, procedures, and HR policies.

Including:

Employment contracts.

Disciplinary and grievance procedures.

You may not have the experience in creating the above, or simply need some advice on new regulations. But, when you work with Peninsula, we can help you every step of the way.

Our full documentation service doesn't just include a qualified team of experts who will review your current policies, they can also create watertight legal documents that are compliant and up-to-date. We also work alongside internal HR departments - to ensure they have tools they need to succeed.
