CAREERTIPS: 5 reasons employers prefer Professionally Registered Hardhat Professionals

Posted by on

It is very clear when scanning available vacancies that employers in the Construction and Built Environment industries prefer to employ Hardhat Professionals that are registered with Professional bodies. So we asked them to share their reasons.


1.Business Sustainability

To sustain a business in the Construction and Built Environment industries requires a consistent workflow which means employers need a consistent flow of projects to work on. To guarantee that they get those projects, employers need to meet a standard requirement from most project owners to assign professionally registered individuals on their projects. 

2. Competitive edge

Any business that aims to succeed in this industry needs a competitive edge. Professional registration positions an individual to be globally competitive and in turn that gives employers a competitive edge. 

3. Professional Indemnity insurance

When employers employ Professionally registered professionals they are able to get Professional indemnity insurance which protects them against claims for loss or damage made by clients or third parties as a result of the impact of negligent services they provided or negligent advice they offered.

4 Credibility

Credibility in this industry is key to success for any organization in this industry and it starts with individuals who earn their industry credibility through Professional registration.

5. Foundation for empowerment

Professional registration communicates a commitment to the chosen career and this commitment creates a foundation that makes it easier for employers to empower their employees by assigning them more responsibilities.

Professional Registration is an individual achievement but it has mutual benefits that are enjoyed by both the employer and the employee. This is why registered Construction and Built Environment Professionals are prefered over those that are not registered.

CAREERTIPS are compiled with the input from both industry employers and Professionals
