Question

Explain in one paragraph each how the following changes in the business environment described are likely to impact on the organisation’s human resources requirements;

Your organisation builds roads and bridges. It relies on civil engineers to carry out the work. Having reviewed the external business environment you find that there is a shortage of qualified civil engineers in Australia.

Answer 1

Many of the major construction projects such as roads,bridges,railways,dams require lot of civil engineers,workers and all. The conventional method of construction projects required people who had lot of experience in the field but with the advancement in technology and also the increase of urbanization raised the demand of innovative construction projects. This requires not only the experienced people but also the skilled engineers. For any organisation safety and health conditions of it's human resources is equally important as that of economic conditions which majority of the organisations fail to consider that impacts the working conditions of people.

Autralia in my point of view is a well developed country where lot of advancement in the construction industry is taking place.So what I believe is that its not the shortage of civil engineers that was seen but the shortage of well trained civil engineers that took place.

But also even in the present pandemic situation all over the world it is also the civil engineers who are working 24 * 7 for the shipping of medicines, ventilators, face masks etc.

I would like to conclude on the basis of above mentioned points as due to the technological advancements,requirement of innovative engineers created the shortage of civil engineers.Yet lot many skilled people are required for the major projects.
