Priming the pump: diverse recruitment into highways teams
33% of local authority highways workers are over 56. It is essential that local authorities and highways contractors bring new people into the business – both young, and not so young – and that the highways industry projects the opportunities for stable employment and progression it can offer to potential recruits. Carolyn Jay, community and place manager for Ringway in Surrey, shares her experience of diverse recruitment and using partnerships to deliver social value in the local context.
