What makes the Construction and Engineering sector a happy place to work?
The construction and engineering sectors were adversely affected during the global recession. During the last couple of years employment levels have bounced back to nearly pre-cession levels. An increase in productivity equates to an increase in work and wage increases.
However, it is not just an increase in salary that makes them happy. Working as part of a team to complete a project is a major factor for their job satisfaction. Seeing a project through from the start to completion gives them a greater sense of achievement and purpose.
