The National Federation of Builders (NFB) has announced the forming of the Employment Affairs Group, a new initiative to foster collaboration among construction industry leaders, HR professionals, and employers. The Employment Affairs Group was established at its inaugural meeting this month to address the evolving needs of the construction industry in terms of employment, training, and legislative compliance. This initiative is a testament to NFB’s commitment to enhancing its members' capabilities and practices through shared knowledge and collaboration. The first meeting of the Employment Affairs Group focused on several critical issues impacting the sector. Critical discussions included challenges with the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), apprenticeship engagement, and the need for a comprehensive approach to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) considering new legislation like the Building Safety Act. The meeting facilitated a robust exchange of ideas and strategies, with attendees interested in shaping future training standards and enhancing workforce development. The Employment Affairs Group will meet quarterly, with the next meeting scheduled for December 2024. Future sessions will explore performance management, CPD implementation, and the continuous improvement of employment practices within the industry.
