Today the world celebrates International Women's Day and the theme this year is to 'Inspire Inclusion'. It would be the hopes of the organisers that everyone around the world today takes some time to reflect on the inequalities that still exist, but also the progress that we have made. In the construction industry, whilst there has been a large effort in the last few years, women are still not having their voices heard in the cacophony of male voices. Within the industry the struggle for respect and to be heard is real. Whilst we celebrate today women across the world, lets encourage our businesses, that we work so hard for, to commmit themselves to creating a more equitable future for all, and supporting everyone equally across the business. As women in the construction industry lets challenge those around us to let go of outdated norms, empower women to thrive and provide everyone with equal pay and opportunities. Thanks Lauren Lebedevas for being part of my support network to make this happen in our little corner of the industry! Happy International Women's Day #IWD2024 #BreakTheBias #ConstructionEquality #Internationalwomensday

🌟 Happy International Women's Day! 🌟 Today, we celebrate the incredible achievements of women around the world and acknowledge their vital contributions in various fields. In the construction industry, where women have historically been underrepresented, their presence is steadily growing. Despite facing challenges, such as gender stereotypes and workplace discrimination, women are breaking barriers and making significant strides. On this special day, let's recognise the inspiring women in construction who are paving the way for future generations. Their dedication, talent, and resilience are shaping the industry's future and driving positive change. Let's also reaffirm our commitment to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion in construction and beyond. #internationalwomensday #IWD2024 #womeninconstruction #diversityandinclusion #empowerment #genderequality

For International Women's Day 2024 we’ve taken a moment to celebrate the invaluable contributions of women in the construction world. As we reflect on the progress made and the distance yet to travel, let's empower each other to continue breaking barriers and fostering a more inclusive environment for women. Being a woman in the construction industry isn't just about showing up — it's about challenging norms and paving the way for future generations. It's about inspiring change and advocating inclusion in every decision we make. Together, we can create a more inclusive world where every woman feels empowered to thrive and lead. This International Women's Day, let's continue to uplift, support, and champion one another to create a more equal and inclusive world for all. #IWD2024 #InspireInclusion

🌟 I saved this post, especially for today! 🌟 #AllWomenteam Recently, I launched a beautiful brand 💚 that my team and I had been working on tirelessly. Initially, I didn't realise my full potential due to the traditional processes in place. Typically, when launching a brand as a start-up, people tend to seek help from external branding agencies, which is considered practical and essential. I was also preparing to do that, researching various options and budgeting accordingly to present to my manager. ⏳ However, my manager suggested that I establish an internal agency with the help of our in-house creative team. Although I knew how to launch brands, I didn't know that I could work on every aspect of the project with my team and bring it to fruition. This included creating a #logo, choosing a colour scheme, selecting #typography, and providing a complete #brandtoolkit aligned with the company's overall strategy. I was unable to do this alone, but with the support of everyone in my team, we made it a living and breathing brand. 🙌 Big kudos to: 👩🏫 Anastassiya Larina - Your design thinking mind enabled me to see things differently and understand how people would perceive our creations. 👩 Vera Ulybkina - I am grateful for your constant flow of ideas and examples, which kept me on my toes and helped me to learn what could be done best. 🙋♀️ Subin Jeon - Although there are often questions surrounding what interns do, Subin brought a modern and up-to-date perspective to our work, providing a cool and quirky vibe to the project. 👩🎨 Ivana Horňáková - You were an essential pillar of this project. After some long daily calls, I am grateful for the hard work you put in to bring the real attributes to our brand. 👩⚖️ Laura R. King - Your strong opinions and feedback were critical to our success. Your honesty helped us to see things from a wider perspective, which in turn made us more adaptable. 👩💼 Marketa M. - She is that manager at the top I mentioned, who empowered me to achieve all this. Had you not encouraged me to do so, I would have followed the standard process and not realised my full potential. You are an inspiring example of one woman rising to another. Laxmi Vikraman and Soon Ae Kwon - I appreciate your presence and input throughout the project. 👨💼 And not to forget at all - Supriyo Chaudhuri FRSA, who is behind all of us. Thank you for allowing us to learn every day and unlock our full potential. You are truly an embodiment of #inspireinclusion. #IWD2024 #brandbuilding #celebratingwomen #e1133 #womeninbusiness
Today, we recognise and commend the enduring strength and remarkable achievements of women globally. We pay tribute to the courageous women who have laid the foundations for progress and salute the team at e1133.co, comprised of formidable women from diverse cultural backgrounds. Our diversity is not merely a trait; it is a cornerstone of our collective strength and innovation. Our organisation is predicated on mutual support among women, where every achievement is acknowledged, and every challenge is met with unified resolve. It is important that we continue to strive for an environment where inclusivity and equality are not aspirations but realities. This International Women's Day, let us commit to fostering #InspireInclusion within our teams and extend this principle to the broader community. Through collective support and advocacy for equity, we are laying the groundwork for a more inclusive and equitable future for all. We wish everyone a reflective and inspiring International Women's Day. #IWD2024 #EmpowerWomen #GenderEquality

Happy International Women's Day to our friends and colleagues! 🏆💐🥂 Today is particularly special as it coincides with Women in Construction Week, underpinning the importance of this year's IWD theme: 'Inspire Inclusion'. To embrace this theme, we can all engage in three key actions: 🔴 Reflect on why women may be absent in our professional spaces and seek ways to include them. 🔴 Challenge discrimination wherever we see it and advocate for fairness at all levels. 🔴 Pledge to take consistent actions that foster an inclusive environment, not only today but every day. Currently, women represent approximately 14.16% of the UK's construction workforce. By committing to these actions, we contribute to narrowing this gap and building a more inclusive industry. #InspireInclusion #IWD2024 #diversity

Strong start to #InternationalWomensDay today with Construction News' "Constructing equality – Tackling and addressing unconscious bias" webinar. Thank you to the all female panel of industry experts who discussed tackling implicit bias, how we can all identify our biases, and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) policy to improve these challenges within our workplaces. A few ways we as individuals can commit to #InspireInclusion: ❓ Question it! When women aren't present, we must ask: "If not, why not?" 📣 Speak out! When women are discriminated against, we must call out poor practice. 💥Take action! When the treatment of women is not equitable, we must take action. 💪🏻Don't give up! We must do this each time, every time. Collectively, let's forge a more inclusive world for women 🫶🏻 https://lnkd.in/eFSDbAPz
