National Inclusion Week 2024
26 Sept 2024As we celebrate National Inclusion Week 2024, we share stories from women in construction, reflecting our commitment to creating an inclusive workplace.
On International Women's Day, we asked our people and partners what embracing equity represents and why it's important to them.
International Women' s Day 2023 campaign theme, #EmbraceEquity aims to get the world talking about why equal opportunities aren't enough. People start from different places, and true inclusion and belonging requires equitable action.
Here at Sir Robert McAlpine, we believe that everyone deserves equal opportunities. We asked our people and partners what equity means to them and why they think it's important. Watch the full video and join in the conversation.
We can all challenge gender stereotypes, call out discrimination, draw attention to bias, and seek out inclusion.
Equity is not just about giving everybody a toolbox, but giving everybody a toolbox that suits their needs.
Embracing equity focuses on individuals. Including everyone will create a happier and healthy workforce. I embrace equity.
Embracing equity means looking at the accessibility of opportunity for all and recognising additional support may be needed for some people.
Equity is about giving everyone what they need to succeed individually, rather than just treating everyone the same.
Project Director, Nicky Rance, has worked at Sir Robert McAlpine for 25 years.
For International Women's Day, she reflects about her career and being a woman in construction:
"Being a visible, successful woman in construction is also a positive. It’s hard to be what you can’t see, and we need more women coming through so that those behind them can understand that the career they want to pursue is possible."
