BoKlok on #EmbraceEquity

BoKlok on #EmbraceEquity

Each year, International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8th, and during the same week, the construction industry recognises Women in Construction. This year’s theme for International Women’s Day is ‘embrace equity’. Equity is an important concept for a future-proofed workplace. But what can we each do to embrace equity in the workplace?

Role models enhance equality in the construction industry

The construction industry is sometimes referred to as being a male-oriented industry. BoKlok Finland is a good example of the opposite where about half of the employees are women. One of them is Country Manager Kati Valtonen. She gives her view of the importance of female role models and encourages more women to apply for jobs in the industry.
