Bridgit has launched its new Experience Tracking feature, designed to enhance construction workforce planning by leveraging employee experience data to build high-performing teams and improve project outcomes.
On January 21, 2025, Bridgit, a leading provider of construction workforce planning software, announced the introduction of Bridgit Experience Tracking. This innovative capability aims to address common challenges in workforce planning faced by construction firms, such as identifying employees with relevant experience for specific project types, delivery methods, or client requirements. The Experience Tracking tool transforms employee experience data into a strategic asset, enabling operations leaders to assemble high-performing teams tailored to project needs.Bridgit’s new feature allows construction companies to gain insights into their workforce by automatically updating profiles based on past project assignments. This tool captures various data points, including build type, market sector, and client information, effectively creating a dynamic digital resume for each employee. The result is a comprehensive view of team members' capabilities that empowers leaders to make informed decisions about team composition.
Mallorie Brodie, CEO of Bridgit, emphasized the importance of this tool, stating, "With Bridgit Experience Tracking, we’re enabling construction leaders to make informed decisions that elevate team performance and project success." By focusing on the relevant experiences of employees, rather than simply their availability, construction firms can not only achieve better project outcomes but also foster a more engaging work environment, which, in turn, enhances employee satisfaction and retention rates.
Leon Nelson, Vice President at Big D Construction, shared insights on the positive impact of the Experience Tracking tool, noting that aligning employees’ skills and experiences with appropriate projects has improved both project outcomes and team morale. This feature is particularly beneficial as it encourages a culture of engagement by ensuring that employees are assigned to projects that resonate with their skills and career aspirations.
The key benefits of Bridgit Experience Tracking include a thorough understanding of employee capabilities, the ability to build high-performing teams based on collective expertise, and enhanced employee engagement through better project alignment. The platform enables users to view the combined experience of their project teams, ensuring that every project is supported by a well-rounded group that can drive improved results and client satisfaction.
Bridgit Experience Tracking also includes innovative features such as automatic updates of employee profiles, integration of historical experience, customizable fields for unique company needs, and smart suggestions for team composition based on availability and expertise. These functionalities not only refine team composition but also provide insights into future skill requirements, facilitating proactive workforce development.
