The Home Builders Federation is committed to supporting the home building industry to overcome challenges in attracting talent and developing skills within the workforce, and, in doing so, progressing the culture of the sector. We developed the Home Building Skills Partnership to bring together home builders, the supply chain and key stakeholders to collaborate on initiatives and influence policy that leads to real change.
We work with the home building industry to share best practice across attraction, recruitment and skills development.
We are committed to ensuring the workforce is trained to a recognised standard and equipped with employable skills and experience.
We are dedicated to increasing the diversity of our workforce to improve the skills gaps and expand the breadth of thinking so home building is recognised for being inclusive and progressive.
We promote home building as a primary career choice, increasing awareness and understanding of the career paths and prospects, training and qualifications offer available.
We lead by example by committing to train all our recruits to the industry standards being developed for their roles, and actively support sub-contractors to do the same on an ongoing basis.
**Over 30,000 direct and indirect job roles are created for 10,000 extra homes :
Our Sector Plan draws from successive HBSP Business Plans, and is shaped by representatives across HBF membership, including six of the UK's largest home builders.
Our members continue to be influential in the design and application of the proposed activities, and have agreed several key priorities which this plan is centred around.
These priorities have been framed under three workstreams:
We work closely with home builders, the supply chain companies and industry training bodies to address common challenges in recruiting and developing the workforce. Our focus stretches beyond traditional training and upskilling to include equality, diversity and inclusion, and employee wellbeing initiatives. This is delivered under two core workstreams: talent attraction and skills and development.
