Perceptions are not always accurate about what women can and should do, and they continue once a woman enters the industry. Even in the age of #metoo, many women in construction are bullied, harassed and face lack of inclusion and opportunities to advance. Other concerns women face include the lack of properly-fitting PPE, poor sanitation conditions, and ergonomic problems related to tools and material handling. Learning Objectives The barriers to recruiting women in construction, and how to overcome them. To identify methods to help retain women in the construction industry and how to combat negative situations that women may face in their own companies. How to help colleagues evaluate and address these issues and adopt these solutions within their own companies and projects.
