Human Resource Management in Mechanical and Electrical

We regularly hear from HR teams across the Mechanical and Electrical sector, who tell us they face a unique mix of workforce pressures:

1. Skills shortages and retention

The sector employs highly skilled and specialist roles, which often command a premium. Coupled with a highly transient workforce, it is increasingly difficult to find and retain the skills required, putting pressure on pay and reward decisions.

2. Equality and diversity

A traditionally male-dominated sector, Mechanical and Electrical employers have made great strides to improve diversity in the sector. However, HR leaders are under continued pressure to improve representation, create inclusive cultures and demonstrate progress through transparent pay practices.
