Human resources development in Construction industry

This book investigates the important of human resources development (HRD) in the construction industry; particularly in the project execution level. It includes an appraisal of the workforce’s job which seems important for understanding development objectives and for evaluating the effectiveness of current development practice. It also indicates that construction work forces operate in poorly-defined project’s role and tasks and that they rely heavily on interpersonal decision and problem handling skills derived from their experience. Training and development was also discussed to improve efficiency effectiveness and competence but will not make their best contribution unless certain conditions are met such as HR policies HR strategy etc. In addition it suggests that the organization should acknowledgement training as a mainstream activity for a main resources development should give more attention to the strategic aspects of development to create a better “learning organization”
