Site developments at national scale can make building workers move very far from home for a long period. Rabot Dutilleul Construction, as a proof of its commitment in social and environmental responsibility, has taken action on that issue.
The company has developed a tool assigning workers to building sites in a consistent way. An internal software groups together all the employees’ homes according to their jobs (form setters, crane operators, masons, scrap dealers, etc.). The workers are assigned to the nearest site from their homes, according to the location of the building site.
A full-time employee controls the assignment of employees on the various building sites and optimizes the way the software is used. A performance indicator, used to establish the relationship between the distance traveled by workers and the distance to jobsites from their assigned base, is monitored each month.
A tool constantly updated
In order to limit the carbon footprint of worker trips to and from jobsites, a carpooling service has also been in place since 2010. This service is managed internally thanks to a system of ascribing coloursto workers favorable to this mode of travel. The person responsible for coordinating site crews is quickly able to identify those crew members receptive to carpooling and then decide to facilitate or favor its use. This policy is coupled with recruiting locally thanks to agencies.
Best Practice awarded in 2009 by Réseau Alliances and updated in 2015 to account for its evolution.
