Statement:
"Championing gender equality is crucial in addressing the industry's persistent labour shortages. Encouraging women to enter construction careers can significantly broaden the talent pool, reducing the industry's over-reliance on a limited demographic. Promoting equality also brings remarkable benefits to the construction sector. A diverse workforce brings a wide spectrum of perspectives, experiences, and problem-solving approaches to the table. This diversity can lead to improved decision-making, enhanced creativity, and innovative solutions to the complex challenges the industry faces."
