Ensuring our workforce has the right certifications is key before starting a job. In addition to this, we also look for training and upskilling opportunities for our workforce before and during the project they’re working on. These training and upskilling opportunities are offered wherever possible, ensuring we set them on a path to growth within their field of expertise.
We’re able to regularly look for and discuss these opportunities with our workforce by having a dedicated team member on-site. For example, on the Preston Western Distributor Road Project with Costain, we’ve already upskilled a total of 36% of our current on-site labour force and have multiple workers on-site who are being mentored for continued career growth. Having a member of the PSI Global team on-site allows us to see first-hand what more we can do to put our workforce first.
“They do a fantastic job of making the lads feel welcome. Every new starter has a meet and greet with every other employee, creating a good working relationship. There’s also room for progression, placing people on courses to better themselves which is unheard of at other agencies!” -John Press, Groundworker, Costain – Preston
