WLA's International Women's Day Conference

8th March 2023
Celebrating International Women's Day 2023
On International Women's Day, we asked our people and partners what embracing equity represents and why it's important to them.
#EmbraceEquity is the theme of this year's International Women's Day. Head over to our social media channels and join in the conversation.
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.
Embracing equity means going beyond equality and making sure that everybody has the same opportunities, the same chance, and the same start in life. Only then will we find true equity.
Equity is not just about giving everybody a toolbox, but giving everybody a toolbox that suits their needs.
Battersea Project Team #EmbraceEquity
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.
IWD2023: Breaking the inner glass ceiling
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."
