CIOB People

I am really enjoying this series on our CIOB Chartered Environmentalists, and the latest instalment features Anna Kennedy from Arup. 👇 👇 So many of Anna's reflections resonated with me, including her take on the importance of chartership. Achieving chartered environmentalist status, Kennedy says, has honed her ability to navigate difficult sustainability issues during discussions with colleagues and clients. She describes chartership as “an absolutely paramount part of professional development. Continued learning and development is so important for a career in the industry, and chartership really demonstrates that commitment." This is the latest in our series featuring The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB)'s Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) registrants. The CIOB is licensed by the Society for the Environment (SocEnv) to award CEnv status. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eE6H5k3t #CEnv #IAmCEnv Phil Underwood ACIM Becca Gilbert

"We want this paper to serve as inspiration for organisations who are unsure how to adapt best practice to suit their work environment, as we believe that implementing [diversity and inclusion] is achievable for all organisations.”  Elena Dove-Edwin discusses the publication of The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB)'s new paper on the benefits of diversity and inclusion in the built environment #EDI #equality #diversity #inclusion #construction #builtenvironment

"Foreign workers holding physical permits must register for an eVisa by 31 December to be able to evidence their immigration status. Failure to register will not result in loss of immigration status but will complicate the ability of immigrants to demonstrate their immigration status." Sean Rhodes, manager at Fragomen, outlines the important changes to the immigration process that construction employers and foreign workers should consider #migrantworkers #skilledworkers #visa #immigration #skills #construction #employmentlaw #legal
