Construction News

Chris Hartley, Business Development

"Owing to the nature of the building industry it has traditionally been difficult for companies which operate within construction to engage with their employees effectively. Many staff are contracted workers, and some employers find committing themselves to apprenticeships is a sufficient method of engaging staff.

"However, the growth in take-up for Love2shop - the High Street Gift Voucher and our other voucher based reward propositions, demonstrates that a cash bonus, which would be the usual reward for a job well done in this area, is not necessarily the most effective method of workforce reward and recognition.

"Unlike gift vouchers cash bonuses are easily rolled-up into salary and their purpose can be quickly forgotten. More companies within the construction industry are realising that investing in formalised incentive schemes can result in a significantly higher level of productivity and retention with their workforce."
