- Abstract
For organization of any size and scale, Human Resource Management (HRM) is a critical function in general and this function comes along with its own set of complex issues and challenges specific to this sector. The management decided to diversify their business portfolio by entering into Real estate Construction projects sector and believed that a complete study on Human Resources (HR) challenges and practices in the Construction industry is still in the nascent stage at this point in time. The success of any project is a direct reflection of the skills of the workers who completed it and the managers who supervised it. In building and maintaining a strong workforce, businesses in the construction industry face several unique human resource challenges, including a lack of qualified candidates to fill open positions, high employee turnover, perpetual safety concerns, and the burden of complying with employment laws. The issues are far-reaching and diverse, and due to other factors such as notice periods and other aspects and thereby, it becomes imperative that a skilled HR team would be required to be integrated into the management framework from the very beginning. There were two main phases in this project - Primary data collection phase to gather data from the target group through interviews and questionnaires and Secondary data collection phase consisted of a comprehensive Literature Review on the current studies in this area. The Primary and Secondary data were analysed for key issues and practices pertaining to administering the human resource functions. These suggestions were presented to the management and they had given a confirmation that that they would use this report as a reference document while framing their HR Policies for the upcoming new Real Estate construction business.
