Desafios e oportunidades na gestão de pessoas na construção civil pós-pandemia

Abstract

Civil construction, not only in Brazil, but worldwide, was considerably affected at the beginning of social confinement, recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), in view of the severity and increase in the number of cases of people infected by the new coronavirus, as well as its transmission power. Many undertakings and constructions had to be paralyzed until contingency plans were obtained for proper functioning. The work routine has changed, the way operational workers interact in loco had to be reviewed and some health care became essential for the resumption of people in their jobs. Another scenario that deserves attention at this time is the psychological aspect of workers. The moment provokes a series of emotional and social implications. The risks involved, the need to mobilize to face the pandemic and the emergence of preventive measures make the moment a delicate period, which requires responsibility, planning, caution and collaboration. The big question is how this resumption will be, considering the necessary adaptations and security measures, as well as taking advantage of the opportunity for innovation and development of available human resources. This article aims to monitor and analyze, in a systematic and technical way, how the management of people in the construction sector will be, in the post-pandemic transition period, resulting from the global health crisis in the face of Covid-19. Also contributing to the training, health and quality of life of construction workers.
