Are you a woman working in construction who has been overlooked for a promotion, bullied at work or harassed on site, without redress or resolution?
Are you a man who's felt pressured to join in with 'site banter' to fit in or seen women mistreated at work but didn't know how to help?
The industry is failing women – but it's failing men too.
Building Women is a call to action, showing how we can all work together to promote gender equality, improve the culture in construction and make things better for everyone. Based on research conducted with over 1,000 participants, it illustrates women's lived experiences and workplace challenges and offers tangible solutions to bring about change.
Listen to this book to discover:
- Why the industry is struggling to recruit and retain women
- What issues women in construction face and how they affect men too
- What allyship is, how it can help and how to put it into practice
- What actions you can take right now to create more inclusive and supportive work environments
It goes beyond the usual conversations about women in construction and gets into the difficult, uncomfortable issues that are still too often avoided. Even if you think you already understand the topic, parts of this book will still challenge you and stay with you.
I appreciated most is that it is not framed as men versus women. It is honest about the barriers women face, while also recognising that parts of the industry are not working well for men either. It really is about how everyone can win.
It’s practical rather than preachy, with real examples, clear explanations and recommendations for what needs to change. It does not just describe the problem; it gives people across the industry a way to understand it and do something about it.
A “must listen” for the industry!
