Statement: I firmly believe that diversity, particularly in terms of neurodiversity and sexuality, is crucial to the construction industry. Embracing a diverse workforce brings a multitude of perspectives, skills, and experiences that drive innovation and problem-solving. Neurodiverse individuals often possess unique cognitive abilities and ways of thinking that can lead to creative solutions and improved processes. Similarly, recognising and valuing diverse sexual orientations fosters an inclusive environment where all employees feel respected and empowered to contribute their best work. In an industry that thrives on collaboration and complex project management, the inclusion of diverse voices ensures that we can address challenges from multiple angles and develop more effective, sustainable, and inclusive solutions. By championing diversity, we not only enhance our industry’s capacity for innovation but also create a more equitable and supportive workplace for everyone.
