Q2: HOW DO WE BECOME THE BEST EMPLOYER IN OUR INDUSTRY?
In Q1 of this year, we’ll launch a programme of
events under the broad banner of Occupational
Health. If you have any ideas on what you’d
like to see included here, please contact Tony
Sheridan or Sean Fitzpatrick or any member of
the HSEQS or HR teams.
bWaelawncilel dwrahfict ha guideline document on work-life
will be issued by the end of Q1.
Site management and functional managers will
then manage that process locally for their own
teams.
A review of our hiring process, use of
agencies, etc., will be conducted in Q1 and
recommendations brought to the Board.

Q3: WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT FRUSTRATE YOU OR HOLD YOU BACK AND HOW TO ELIMINATE THEM?
We heard that we lose time doing tasks that
weren’t adding value in many cases. Our regional
directors will be doing a workshop with sites
before the end of March to look at the Project
Execution Plan and overall strategy and examine
how the Team is organised for success on each
project. We will also look to supplement these
teams, if required, with site administration, site
clerks or increased support from HSEQ.

often. We plan to measure and
address any unproductive activities that take us
away from core work such as over attendance
on our supply chain or chasing late design
information and unproductive paperwork.
We will review, measure and address this in a
program during 2017.

Please be aware that we captured everything that
you said to us during the sessions. However, as you
know, it’s not possible to address everything at once
and we’ll have to prioritise so that we can get through
them effectively but you will get regular updates. If you
have further builds or things you would like to have
said please get in touch with the Performance, HR or
HSEQ teams to develop this (contact details opposite).
We are also committing to coming back to you at the
end of Q1 and Q2 through your BU MDs, with status
updates and to see if what we’ve done is having the
required impact. We’re also thinking about how we
might run similar sessions in Q4 of this year to hear
from you again, but more to come on that later in 2017.

we’ll let you know how that work is going and
the key changes to how we will communicate.
There was much discussion on the positive
experience and identity of working for Sisk, and
the sense of community people feel. We will look
at our values and behaviours to consolidate that
experience, the sense of community, pride in
our successes and in the business. This will take
some time as we plan to take inputs across the
company, but more to come on this in Q2/3.

making it simpler overall.

will review, take feedback, and
clarify the value of the forms we have and if they
are of not of value we will eliminate. If they are of
value we will ensure that their value is understood
by those completing them and give feedback on
the KPI data we collect.
tAot the same time it came up that we need
focus on what we don’t do that could add
value. Poor record keeping came up, a lack of
awareness of detailed site productivity, material
wastage. We will create efficient measurement
tools to help record and drive efficiency in these
areas.
We will also look at interdepartmental
interactions and try and ensure the best flows
to reduce waiting times or waste in the process
between partner functions and projects.
Lastly, thanks again for your candour and your
participation and we will be back to you during the
year with regular updates.
