Playbook for Developing the Next Generation of Frontline Supervisors
CII RT-414 has consolidated two tools into a single Implementation Resource—IR-414. The playbook explores how varying degrees of technological integration and workforce transformation can shape diverse construction jobsite environments, each with distinct skill requirements for Frontline Supervisors (FLS). It outlines three potential future scenarios, each highlighting unique skill sets and offering strategic insights for organizations aiming to cultivate next-generation FLS talent.
The playbook also introduces “no regrets” actions—initiatives that deliver value across all future scenarios. It provides actionable resources for FLS development, including:
- Work skill matrices
- Targeted training recommendations
- Retention frameworks aligned with the evolving role of the FLS
The included reference guide equips owner companies with a structured approach to assess FLS development programs within potential contractors. This tool elevates the importance of craft workforce development to the same level as other critical evaluation criteria, such as safety and quality performance.
