Attensam: Umsatz Ostplus, Personalmangel West – Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen

Hey Leute,

Let's talk about Attensam – a company I've been following for a while now, mainly because their situation perfectly illustrates a common problem in the German construction industry. They're seeing booming sales in the East (Umsatz Ostplus), but a massive shortage of personnel in the West (Personalmangel West). It’s a crazy paradox, right? Like, how can you have success in one area and struggle so much in another?

It’s kinda like that time I tried to build a deck myself. I thought, "How hard can it be?" Turns out, really hard. I ended up with a wonky structure, half-finished, and a whole lotta frustration. I needed more hands, more experience – basically, a whole team. That's Attensam's problem on a much larger scale.

The East-West Divide in the German Construction Industry

The situation with Attensam highlights a broader issue within the German construction sector. The East is experiencing significant growth, fueled by infrastructure projects and increased demand. Think new apartment complexes popping up everywhere – lots of work, lots of opportunity. But, skilled workers? Not so much. Many construction workers are leaving the industry, causing an overall labor shortage which is felt most strongly in the West.

Attensam isn't alone here. Lots of construction firms face this challenge, it's a nationwide problem. They're getting contracts, but lack the manpower to complete them. It's like winning the lottery, but having no pockets to put the money in.

Why the Personnel Shortage in the West?

This isn't just about a lack of applicants; it's a combination of factors. First, the aging population means fewer young people are entering trades like construction. Second, working conditions are often tough. Long hours, physical demands, and sometimes even poor pay are driving people away. It's a tough sell to convince young people to choose this path when there are other options available.

And then there's the issue of skilled labor. It takes years to become a qualified bricklayer, carpenter, or electrician. There’s just not enough qualified workers to fill the jobs, particularly in the West. It's a serious problem that needs addressing ASAP.

What Can Attensam (and Other Companies) Do?

So, what's the solution? It's not easy, and there's no magic bullet. But, here are some ideas:

• Improve working conditions: Better pay, better benefits, and safer working environments would attract more workers. It's a no-brainer, really.
• Invest in training and apprenticeships: We need to make construction more attractive to young people, showing them it’s a viable and rewarding career. Supporting apprenticeship programs is critical.
• Recruit from other regions: Attensam could try recruiting workers from other parts of Germany, or even internationally.

It's a tough situation, no doubt. But I think that Attensam, and the whole industry, needs to get creative and proactive to deal with this personnel shortage. The potential for growth is there; they just need the people to make it happen. Hopefully, they can find a solution before it's too late – and maybe I’ll finally get around to finishing that darn deck!
