A Better Hiring Toolkit for construction

[edit] A Better Hiring Toolkit for Construction

The Better Hiring Toolkit for construction companies is a collaboration between the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS), Reed Screening, the Gangmasters & Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA), and the Better Hiring Institute, aiming to give organisations the tools to hire in line with best practice standards. It also aims to prevent employing staff who are not honest about their personal circumstances, achievements, or identities.

The Construction subcommittee brings together a range of well-known and SME organisations to develop best practice, agree, and maintain standards through the Better Hiring Toolkit. The industry subcommittee also provides feedback on the Blueprint for Better Hiring, the UKs first complete guide for the future of hiring, as well as contributing to the Modernising Employment All-Party Parliamentary Group (MODE APPG).

This Better Hiring Toolkit for the construction sector is free and has handy templates throughout. For further information and toolkit download visit https://www.betterhiringinstitute.co.uk/industry-best-practice/construction

[edit] The Blueprint for Better Hiring

The Blueprint for Better Hiring is the UK’s first guide on how the hiring process needs modernising. The Blueprint is a living document owned and updated by the Better Hiring Institute’s consortium of experts across multiple sectors, employers, and government. It is designed to show what change is required within hiring to drive the levelling up agenda and help organisations bounce back better after the pandemic.

It is divided into four pillars, Future Hiring, Pre-Hiring, Hiring, and Onboarding.

[edit] The Better Hiring Charter

The Better Hiring Charter has been developed by experts across industry, Government, and the third sector to improve the way the UK hires. In conjunction with the Government's Back to Work Plan, the Charter is designed to help get more people into work by making UK Hiring faster, fairer and safer.

The Charter is made up of 10 broad principles for employers to comply with. The principles themselves have been developed over many months through collaboration with hundreds of organisations, through sessions in Parliament, and alongside Government and academic advisors.
