For many construction companies, temporary foreign workers (TFWs) are an essential part of economic growth. They can fill short-term labour requirements and bring new skills and knowledge that help the business reach new heights.
Although they comprise a small portion of Canada’s construction industry, TFWs are increasing in number. To address this trend, the Construction Sector Council (CSC) developed a guide to assist construction managers and human resource personnel in recruiting, hiring and retaining these valued workers.
This Industry Guide explains the six steps that must be taken to successfully integrate TFWs into Canada’s construction industry:
- Overview
- Job Analysis
- Recruitment
- Selection
- Job Offer
- Orientation and Integration
- Retention
- Useful Sources of Information
- FAQ
The guide also includes resources – such as FAQs, phone numbers and external links* – that will help you find all the additional information you need.
