March 2024 saw the third meeting of Construction Leadership Forum International.
The online session focused on knowledge sharing between Scotland and Europe about the issues of equality, diversity and inclusion within the construction sector.
The meeting was chaired by the Managing Director of SELECT and Chair of the CICV, Alan Wilson. In his opening remarks, Alan emphasised that by promoting equality and inclusion regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, age, disability status or other factors, we can create respectfulwork places that allow all individuals to thrive and contribute their full potential.
The meeting gave perspectives on experiences in two other European countries, the Netherlands (Annette Opstal, Techniek Nederland) and Denmark (Jørgen Prosper Sørensen, TEKNIQ), as well as from Scotland (Jillian Love, Women in Property and Emma Dickson, Arcadis). Presentations covered some of the key challenges and barriers to achieving true diversity in construction roles.
Diversity and inclusion efforts require commitment from the top down, as well as buy-in from everyone in an organisation.
