7. Creating Equality Opportunity
Summary
This two-part panel will kick-start with discussion on creating equal opportunity in the construction industry. Talent is not the issue; there are very few ‘accessible’ opportunities for young people – so how do we advocate more diverse professional appointments? This will be followed by an interactive brainstorming session with focus on a diversity ‘road map’ for creating change.
Learn how to foster more diversity and inclusion in your business, by looking at leadership, people strategy, business model barriers and opportunities, sustainability and culture.Diana Chrouch and Bola Abisogun
