Development of Gender Balance in Construction

On the fourth day of International Women’s Week 2022, we find the gender balance in the construction workforce by occupation has changed very little in the last 10 years although there has been a significant increase in the proportion of female managers & directors in construction over the last decade albeit from a low base (from 12.4% to 17.5%).

The Gender Balance at RML

We are aware of and celebrate many housebuilding businesses working hard to redress this balance across the housebuilding sector – and Robinson Manufacturing (RML) is proud that its work to improve the gender balance over the last nearly-six years has resulted in impressive shifts against industry averages at all levels with the business, becoming more balanced and representative of society.

It’s time to take that further. Watch out for tomorrow’s blog about a very exciting project designed to make a substantial impact on the housebuilding sector and its gender balance!
