How do we transform culture in construction and enable greater flexibility and diversity in the workforce? In the latest edition of our #IndustryPerspectives column Stefanie Nutt, People & Culture Director for John Holland's M7-M12 Integration Project, shares how she successfully influenced change from within.   Stefanie championed the Late Start program, which allows site workers to attend a pre-start meeting at 8:45am, instead of the traditional 6:45am start. This enables them to fulfill personal responsibilities, such as school drop-offs or caring duties, while pursuing a fulfilling career in construction.   "The response has been overwhelming," Stefanie writes. "The pilot program attracted hundreds of applicants, from which we selected 11 women with diverse backgrounds and industry experience. Now, six months into an apprenticeship, these remarkable individuals can balance the demands of their personal lives while pursuing careers they once thought were out of reach."   "To make an impact and drive real change, you need to earn the respect of others and build teams that work cohesively towards shared goals. It’s not easy, but it’s absolutely worth the effort, the hours and the conversations required to get there."

Today is #SocialMobilityDay. To be honest, I've not done loads, and that's okay! You don't have to make grand gestures to make a difference, sometimes that difference can be a difference of one. I've checked in on a couple of #NextGenLeaders teams and talked about plans for next year. Our projects focus on areas of low social mobility and use the #SDGs, project-based learning, and business engagement to help communities - whatever our #Changemakers say their community is and this feeds in perfectly to social mobility 😍 I then popped over to Outwood Academy Freeston, Normanton for the afternoon to help with their year 10 careers interviews. I was blown away by how well prepared the students were, they all shook my hand and presented me with their CV before even sitting down - they were fabulous 🤩 #Careers #SDGs #SocialMobility #SocialEquity #SocialMobilityDay #BeTheChange #Education #Access #Diversity #Success #CareerSuccess #LifeSkills #GoodForAll
