We don\u2019t need a statistic to know that middle-aged white males primarily populate the construction industry. Diversity is \u2013 or should be \u2013 a fundamental principle, regardless of the benefits. However, benefits are there and they\u2019re pretty good\u2026<\/h2>\n

Not only does diversity increase your pool of talent but studies from McKinsey & Company have shown that diversity within the workplace improves performance and increases financial returns. McKinsey\u2019s report, Diversity Matters<\/a>, revealed that there was an \u201cincrease of 3.5% in EBIT for every 10% increase in gender diversity<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"construction<\/p>\n

McKinsey hypothesised that these findings were likely due to stronger customer orientation, employee satisfaction and improved decision making: \u201cDiversity fosters innovation and creativity through a greater variety of problem-solving approaches, perspectives, and ideas\u201d.<\/p>\n

With all these benefits, why wouldn\u2019t you be more diverse in your recruitment process?<\/h3>\n

Recruitment, however, is just the first step.<\/p>\n

Analysis from Construction News<\/a> exposed that the construction industry has the worst gender pay gap in the UK, with women earning \u201c30.3% lower than the average for men\u201d. In their report LGTB+ survey: Construction\u2019s Slow Progress Laid Bare<\/a> Construction News additionally revealed that \u201cJust over half (54%) of LGBT+ respondents did not feel comfortable being open about their sexuality or gender on site\u201d.<\/p>\n

Are these examples of why diversity is so hard to maintain within the construction industry?<\/p>\n

Walk the talk\u2026<\/h3>\n

Acknowledgements are positive, but only a step in the right direction. The construction industry should \u2013 as rightly worded by Turner & Townsend in The Importance of Gender Diversity in Construction<\/a> \u2013 be \u201caware of the implications of unconscious bias\u201d and work towards creating an environment that is more accepting of diversity.<\/p>\n

Working with the construction industry, I have been presented with a world of opportunities that I was previously oblivious to. The same can be said for many women out there, but in order to achieve greater diversity and attract the next generation of women, the industry must first create a culture that allows diversity to thrive. It\u2019s been great to see Aphex embrace these values; our CEO Carlos Adams has expressed that \u201cwhen founding Aphex we wanted to ensure we created a company that was representative of lots of different experiences and backgrounds\u201d.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your company doing to allow diversity to thrive?<\/p>\n
