Managing Work-Life Balance in Construction

By Helen Lingard

Book Overview

Work in the construction industry is particularly tough. It demands excessively long hours and frequent weekend work, and imposes re-location, job insecurity and other distinctive behavioural patterns. It may be difficult to manage, yet the work-life balance is of strategic importance to the construction industry, critical to attracting and retaining a talented workforce, to organizational effectiveness and employees' well-being.

This book maps the changes to the workforce demographic profile and changing expectations relating to work and personal life, as well as legal imperatives. It presents work-life balance theory and along with extensive empirical data, along with practical advice.
