As part of the project, an innovative recommendation tool was developed that uses company key figures to show construction companies how they compare on the market in terms of key labour characteristics such as place of work, working hours, corporate culture and remuneration and what measures can be taken to improve them.
Till Schöttler from the Wuppertal Chair (left) explains the advantages of the recommendation tool to the Minister.
The project, which is funded by the "Zukunft Bau" initiative of the Federal Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Construction, pursues several key objectives: increasing the attractiveness of the construction management profession, increasing the proportion of women in this occupational field, improving the compatibility of work and family life and minimising the shortage of skilled workers in the construction industry.
