Finding casual construction work in Sydney isn’t a problem.
The hard part is finding casual construction work that ticks all the boxes you’d expect it to; decent pay, compliant with safety regulations and protocols, not too far away from home — it doesn’t sound like it should be too difficult.
And yet, these are some of the top challenges construction workers face. Employers who fail to keep up with compliance regulations, who have poor communication, and who are often slow to adopt new technologies.
Luckily, there’s an app that can help with that now!
Instead of only focusing on the demands from clients, the Dragon Worker app is different in that it prioritises the needs and wants of arguably the most important people on construction projects — the casual workers.
Working casually, or being part of the gig economy, blew up in popularity after the 2008 financial crisis.
It allowed workers to find their own ways to work; to have more flexibility in their hours, more variety in the projects they work on, and a more competitive income.
But casual working can quickly turn into a nightmare if you don’t find the right kind of company, and construction workers might be all too familiar with some of the woes that came from working for frustratingly non-compliant employers.
Not being paid on time, trying to have your hours reduced on a timesheet, not being paid super or overtime, being forced to work on an ABN, or not even having proper insurance that protects them on site are all issues casual construction workers face.
After all, clients often want lower costs and recruiters get paid commission for who they place on jobs, and that’s all got to come from somewhere – the workers’ wage!
The Dragon Worker app knows that – and it provides a solution.
It offers a direct line of communication between workers and jobs, and gives workers the flexibility to plan their own schedules.
It also utilises industry-leading technology to automate the processes, which means it doesn’t need a big corporate office – and that means they can pay workers more.
Fixing all the challenges of working in the construction industry in today’s gig economy might have a long road ahead, but Dragon’s new app at least puts workers in the driver’s seat.
