Workforce categories should be matched to the actual role, responsibility and skill level required at a site. Clear role definitions help businesses communicate their needs and avoid mismatched deployment.
Skilled manpower
Roles that require specific technical, trade or operational skills.
Semi-skilled manpower
Roles that require some training, practical experience or task-specific capability.
Unskilled manpower
Roles centred on routine physical or support activities that do not require a specialised trade skill.
Start with the job
Instead of choosing a category first, describe the task, working environment, shift and responsibility. The appropriate workforce category can then be discussed.
