We need an increase, not a decrease!⬆️ The percentage of women in engineering has fallen to 15.7% from 16.5% previously reported.⬇️ It is ever so important to review our strategies and approach in attracting women to engineering or even retaining them in our industry.👷♀️ We must ask ourselves why we think there has been a decrease?❓️ Our approach to bringing more women to engineering must begin at home, at schools or universities, in your network or even in your teams.🫱🏻🫲🏼🏡🏫👥️ We need the diversity in our industry to allow us to better our engineering collectively.⚙️ Let us make today a reminder of what we must do to attract or retain the female support we need to be a part of a better engineered world. 🌍 #INWED24 #womeninengineering #diversity #inclusion #STEM #opportunities #teamwork #Rail #womeninrail #equality #enhancedbyengineering ASAVRAIL support International Women in Engineering Day.

Looking forward to celebrating International Women's Day tomorrow, we want to start inspiring #inclusion by sharing our valuable whitepaper on women's representativity in male-dominated sectors like Construction, Engineering, and Information Technology. To foment #diversity and #inclusion, organisations must foster environments where women feel valued, empowered, and supported in pursuing their careers. Retention plays a massive part in changing industries over the long term. Our comprehensive #whitepaper delves into strategies and best practices for attracting and retaining talented women in these dynamic fields.

Women in Engineering Day 2024 We are passionate about inclusion and diversity within our business, which includes working with the wider utilities industry to tackle the under-representation of women. That's why we're a WUN - Womens Utilities Network partner. The WUN was created to give women the skills and confidence needed to build lasting and fulfilling careers in the utility sector. Their mission is to help women connect with other women, share their experiences, build confidence, and develop their passion for the fast-moving world of utilities. We hope that, through this partnership, we can help create a more gender-inclusive industry that encourages, develops and benefits from more amazing female talent. #INWED24 #femaletalent #femaleengineers

We know diversity is crucial to our success. Because new ideas and fresh perspectives, essential to the growth of any organization, can never rise from a homogenous group. That’s why we are committed to building a workforce that truly reflects our society. But that’s not the only reason: we believe that a respectful environment, where every individual has an equal opportunity to contribute, grow, and thrive, should be the unconditional norm. Tractebel has made an ambitious commitment to have 40% of women in management position by 2030. This target is ambitious because the reality is that in the engineering profession overall, just 13% are women. But we are convinced on the importance of narrowing the gender gap and stand firm in our commitment. Discover our Journey to Gender Parity and find out what we’ve accomplished, and our plans to achieve what still needs to be done. Here's to all the inspirational women in our workplace, our lives, and around the world on #InternationalWomensDay2024. #IWD #IWD2024 #WomenInEngineering #EngineeringYourPositiveImpact #EngineeringACarbonNeutralFuture #WeAreTractebel

United in diversity, we ignite change,  Empowering voices, breaking every chain.  Inclusion blooms, diversity's our pride,  On this International Women's Day, we rise side by side. Happy International Women's Day! #iwd2024 #internationalwomensday2024 #inspireinclusion #accra #engineering #railway #railwayinfrastructure

Building the Future: Women in Engineering and the Power of Diversity. This International Women's Day, I am here to celebrate the trailblazing women who have shattered glass ceilings in engineering and all STEM fields. Their ingenuity and perseverance have paved the way for a new generation of women ready to shape the future! *Why Diversity Matters. A diverse workforce isn't just a social nicety; it's a strategic advantage. When we bring together people from a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, it fosters an environment of creativity and innovation. Women in engineering bring a unique perspective to problem-solving. Pur approaches can lead to more human-centered designs, considering different needs and user experiences. This is crucial in a world where technology is increasingly intertwined with every aspect of our lives. *Women Supporting Women Creating a truly inclusive environment requires a collective effort. As women in engineering, we must support each other. Mentorship programs, networking events, and fostering a culture of open communication are all crucial to empower women and propel our careers forward. *The Role of Male Allies The responsibility for fostering diversity doesn't lie solely on us, as women. Male allies play a vital role in advocating for gender equality. This means challenging unconscious bias, promoting flexible work arrangements, and actively sponsoring women for leadership roles. *Building a Brighter Future By us all working together collectively, women in engineering, our allies, and forward-thinking organizations can dismantle barriers and create a more inclusive future! Let's celebrate all the incredible women shaping the world around us, and let's keep pushing for a future where all engineers, regardless of gender, can reach their full potential! #internationalwomensday2024 #womeninconstruction #womeninengineering #WES #iet #ice ICE South West Stantec

🗣 A recent roundtable discussion hosted by Enginuity CEO Ann Watson explored some of the ways in which engineering employers can collaborate to close the skills gap and drive gender diversity in the sector. The round table was attended by senior representatives of organisations from across the STEM industries, including Construction Inclusion Coalition, Energy & Utility Skills, Women's Engineering Society, Women in Sustainability Network, and WUN - Womens Utilities Network. Chaired by Karen Boswell, who in her career as a senior leader running engineering and manufacturing businesses has passionately advocated for diversity and inclusion, the participants gathered to discuss challenges facing women in the engineering and manufacturing sector, including the need for increased gender diversity, and the issue of mid-career leavers.
