Construction has long been a male-dominated industry. Men currently make up nearly 90% of all workers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Yet women are making strides. As the industry continues to struggle with filling positions, more women are being considered.
Celebrating the women working in construction is important. Recognizing the impact women make in the industry acknowledges their essential roles but also promotes the opportunities available to others.
Employee Appreciation Day is March 7 and it’s the perfect opportunity to recognize your employees and their efforts. Currently, it also couldn’t be more important as most contractors are struggling to fill positions.
