🎯 Construction: Dead bottom on the “dinner party” test. That’s what a nationally representative YouGov survey revealed when we asked the public what they’d think if someone mentioned they worked in construction. The findings? Eye-opening—and a call to action: 👉 68% of respondents wouldn’t consider a career in the sector. 👉 Words like “strenuous” and “dirty” dominate public perception. 👉 Construction lags behind other industries in desirability and prestige. But here’s the thing: the reality is so different. Construction is innovative, impactful, and full of opportunity. So, how do we fix the disconnect? In this week’s podcast, I spoke with Ryan Jones, Chair of Deconstruction, on a mission to rebrand the industry. His work with YouGov explores the barriers that keep people away and the strategies to turn perceptions around. 🛠 This conversation isn’t just about image. It’s about the future of our workforce.
