Not much is needed to make things work without stress or conflict. It is a good idea to chat about your experiences of work – both good and bad – and about your cooperation at work and on the building site.

The workload should be adapted to the amount of manpower available. If the workload is too great, this can cause stress and sick leave.

Carry out the new task and ask the boss to pass on information earlier next time

Carry out the new task without comment

Take it home

When plan are adjusted, everyone must be notified of important changes. Good planning and regular information are very important for everyone in the company.

Test yourself on recognition and respect A colleague is ribbed almost every day by a couple of journeymen. What do you do?

Go to the boss or safety representative to get him to stop the teasing

Check answer

Your answer is correct

Your answer is wrong

The tone of teasing and cruel humour can be a little harsh at times. This can develop into fairly major conflicts. By backing up one another where necessary. Use the safety group to talk things through before you really fall out properly.

Test yourself on cooperation You have finished your day's work. Others from your gang have still got an hour's work to do. What do you do?

Slope off home

Park yourself somewhere where you can text your mates

Ask your colleagues whether there is anything you can help with

Check answer

Your answer is correct

Your answer is wrong

Most people working for building and construction companies are dependent on effective cooperation between bosses and colleagues. If you do not show an interest in cooperation yourself, you cannot expect cooperation from others either.

Test yourself on openness and conflict resolution The journeymen set you to work clearing up and fetching materials while they have a break. What do you do?

You feel really cross, but you do the jobs without showing how annoyed you are

Refuse to do what they tell you

Do the jobs, but tell the boss and journeymen that you will not accept this kind of behaviour in future

Check answer

Your answer is correct

Your answer is wrong

It is entirely fine to speak out against things within the company or on the building site that you find unacceptable. This can help to bring conflicts out into the open before they really turn serious.
