As we mark another International Women's Day at Countryside, we are working towards encouraging more women to come forward to take up a career in the construction industry while celebrating the achievements of our female employees, raising awareness against bias, and to forge gender equality within our industry and society. To achieve this, we have been working with organisations such as Women in Construction (WIC), Women in Social Housing (WISH) to support, attract, and retain talent in the construction and placemaking industries.

The theme for IWD 2022 is Break the Bias, with a key mission to advance gender equality and to achieve a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. This week also being Women in Construction Week, in an industry that has been long dominated by men, we hope to bring a positive narrative to the table, illustrate the wealth of talent in the sector and help chip away old attitudes through this video which gives a sneak peek into 'a day in the life of a construction worker' starring our graduate trainee, Roma Sondhi.

Through our partnership with WISH, this video will be showcased in schools within our network to encourage more female students to choose a career in construction.
