🌉 We're not just building roads, bridges, tunnels and railways, we're building a culture of equality. 🙌🏽
In the world of construction, we're all about turning plans into reality, and we've celebrated International Women's Day during the last two weeks in various ways across our sites to better understand what that means at @johnhollandgroup
👷🏽♀️ Our Cairns Water Security Stage 1 project team hosted the local Mayor of Cairns Regional Council Amy Eden for a guided site tour with female construction workers.
👷♀️At our Torrens to Darlington (T2D) project in Adelaide, our team hosted a networking event to hear from female leaders and discussed how to accelerate action on change in the industry.
👷🏽♀️At Melbourne's Flinders Gate office we heard from guest speaker Sarah Holdsworth - researcher at RMIT University's School of Property, Construction and Project Management about how far the industry has come... and still has to go.
👷♀️At Belmont near Newcastle, the team at our Desalination Plant project hosted a panel of female leaders to talk about their achievements in the construction industry and how we can inspire more women to see themselves in it.
👷♀️Our Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2 enabling works team hosted a visit from the Parramatta Women's Shelter where local women and children can receive care, resources, and support they need during hardship.
👷🏽♀️ Our Upper South Creek team in Southwest Sydney hosted a female high school student from Bonnyrigg who experienced what it was like to spend a day on a construction site.
👷♀️ Our West Australian Rail Services team celebrated with morning tea and a talk from Aideen Gillies - a senior female leader from the Port Hedland office, along with recognition of long service awards for two team members.
Here's to more progress on bringing better equality to our industry, one pair of steel capped boots at a time!
