Construction firms should partner with talent organizations, build inclusion and measure their progress in doing so, according to a Building Talent Foundation report issued to coincide with this year’s Women in Construction Week.
Though the number of women in construction has increased over 50% in the past decade, according to a Fixr report, the percentage of men and women working in different areas within the industry varies greatly.
For example, women represent 17.1% of workers in management and professional roles, and 24.6% in subcontractor roles. But that percentage is still quite low compared to other industries, according to the Fixr report.
