Description (French)
Ce projet augmentera l'utilisation d'un outil de diagnostic pour aider aux PME individuelles du secteur de la construction à identifier les domaines d'amélioration des performances grâce à des solutions innovantes. La base de données résultante sur les données de performance servira de base pour identifier les tendances et les besoins de l’industrie dans un environnement d'analyse comparative. De plus, l’instrument de sondage sera conçu comme un outil en ligne que les employeurs pourront utiliser pour évaluer eux-mêmes leur maturité par rapport aux domaines de performance. Ceci engagera les employeurs et favorisera les discussions internes, qui pourront ensuite mener à des mesures visant à améliorer la productivité.
