Women in construction and engineering
Tilbury Douglas aims to provide an inclusive environment that promotes and demonstrates gender equality, amplifying the progress of women within our organisation and the broader construction and engineering industries.
So far, we’ve:
- Set up an employee network for women called Women @ Tilbury Douglas as part of our Better Together initiative based on FREDIE principles
- Held a seminar for all employees on World Menopause Day
- Sourced female specific personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Partnered with Cradle, a pregnancy loss charity, who will support our pregnancy/paternity, fertility and baby loss focus group
- Raised awareness and education of menopause and rolled out a menopause policy, as well as training for senior management
- Enhanced our maternity and paternity leave policies
- Achieved the Menopause Friendly accreditation
During 2024 we plan to:
- Educate and attract more women into the industry
- Further promote health and wellbeing for women through creation of materials and support for women
- Create clearer pathways for roles
- Provide better understanding, support, and processes for pregnancy/paternity, fertility and baby loss
