We often tie ourselves in knots over a setback or slowing growth or missed opportunities. This is true for professionals in organizations as it is for business owners. Our mindsets, perspectives, and points of view easily get clouded to the point of despair. By taking a step back to reevaluate, we reward ourselves with the chance to ask the important questions and get back to the original intent. Click the link below to read more.

Join us for a webinar addressing a critical challenge in the construction industry: retaining women. Studies show nearly 9 in 10 tradeswomen feel they are not treated equally. Stressors like harassment and discrimination lead to health and safety issues, increasing injury rates among tradeswomen. Recent surveys reveal that nearly 1 in 4 tradeswomen have considered leaving due to discrimination or lack of respect. This disproportionately impacts women of color, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those with disabilities. Each departure not only means losing skills but also worsens recruitment issues, potentially causing project delays. Our goal is to create an inclusive environment where all can thrive.

Investing in the right HR technology solutions can automate the most time-consuming tasks. Because tasks are automated, there is little to no room for human error, the work is not only faster but more accurate.

Women who work in the construction industry participated in a panel at the Engineering Building on March 25 and discussed discrimination and work/life balance in the field.

Women make up just 14% of the construction workforce in the U.S. and 1% of chief executives in the field — and Misha Homara is one of them.
