Abstract

This chapter gives the conclusion of the book. The chapter draws from the discussion from previous chapters to make logical conclusions and recommendations. The chapter concludes that construction industries are failing to imbibe workforce management practices, resulting in high employee turnover, dissatisfaction among existing workers and ultimately, low productivity of workers and organisations. It was also noted that the fourth industrial revolution offers emerging technologies that, when adopted within construction organisations, can help improve how organisations deliver their projects and manage their workers. Therefore, implementing a construction workforce management model that recognises the impact of digital tools is crucial for organisations seeking to get the optimum productivity out of their workers. Thus, this book’s conceptualised construction workforce management model can be a valuable tool for construction organisations. Also, more credibility is given to the model’s structure by exploring the conceptualised model through experts’ opinions.
