Crossrail bosses have pinpointed 140 “critical” workers needed to get the mega project across the line. Chief executive Mark Wild told an Elizabeth line committee meeting last week that retention plans will be drawn up for these key members of the workforce. “We’ve identified 140 critical Crossrail and Rail for London (RFL) people and we will make sure they have dedicated retention plans – either individually or with their host organisations,” he said. “But I am very confident that we will keep a grip on the people to get to the end of the job.” Wild emphasised that Crossrail has a “very, very low rate of losing staff and a very, very low vacancy rate”.
