CASE STUDY – Laing O’Rourke
Laing O’Rourke is a global engineering and construction company with a workforce of 6,000+. Its talent strategy centres on attracting, developing, and retaining top talent — with a particular emphasis on diversity and inclusion.
In just six months, SDP’s consulting team ran a full transformation: a needs assessment, prototyping of talent market solutions, strategic briefs, and the build-out of a Global Capability Centre in India.
The result: a 20% reduction in contractor costs, faster hiring turnaround, and immediate access to a vetted global talent pool — all delivered inside the project timeline.
