HR Operations Across Sites
Running a function where the workforce relocates.
What this coversHideConstruction HR operations follow projects. Sites open, staff mobilise, and the administrative base has to move with them without losing the record.
- Site-level HR ownership with a named person per project
- Mobilisation and demobilisation as defined processes
- Own payroll and contractor labour administered distinctly
- Wage cycle discipline maintained at every site
- Statutory registers maintained per site as required
- Consolidated project and company headcount reporting
- Records retained centrally, surviving site closure
- Internal review of site HR records on a stated cycle
Records surviving site closure is the operational discipline most often missing. When a site demobilises, its files frequently disperse, and reconstructing them later is not possible.
The general method — what hr operations and governance covers, the questions it answers and what an engagement produces — is the same whatever the sector, and is set out on the hr process consulting and implementation page. What is above is the part that differs for construction and real estate.
