CPI strives to achieve greater inclusion of women in their workplaces. They believe women are significantly underrepresented in the construction industry in general and that attracting more female talent and achieving greater representation of women in all roles in the sector will have a positive impact.
They identified barriers in our own work environment that might prevent women joining our business. The welfare, changing and shower facilities have been upgraded to ensure that they are suitable for both male and female colleagues. They recognise that their colleague facilities needed to be suitable for the demographic they want in the business and not simply the demographic that currently exists.
The CPI range of personal protective equipment (PPE) clothing was based on a male design and sizing. However, now they have extended the range of PPE to ensure that it includes both male and female sizing and options for all relevant PPE requirements.
CPI is proud to champion its female colleagues, and our team is continually challenging our work practices to ensure we provide an inclusive workplace for all to support our ambitions in achieving an increasingly diverse and representative workforce.
