| HOW WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE:
Recruitment
We will continue with our investment in early careers to support in attracting, retaining and progressing female talent
through the business. With this, we are committed in supporting a de昀椀ned career path allowing women within our business
to develop and progress. In addition the expansion of our apprenticeship programme will enhance our culture of coaching
and growth for all employees.
Inspiring a Generation
We are committed to shaping a more diverse industry and so are encouraging and developing the next generation of
talent into our business. To support this we will collaborate with educational institutions and the CITB nationally to enhance
the image of the construction industry making it a more appealing career choice for females.
Leadership and Development
We will focus on evolving our training programs ensuring they have a diverse range of participants in terms of gender,
ethnicity and age. Along with launching our ToppLeader programme to support our female employees with their
development, recognising that strong leadership is pivotal to closing our gap.
Our overarching objective remains to drive a sustained improvement for female participation and progression in our
business, as well as the broader construction industry. In addition in 2024 we will launch our e-learning platform which will
host essential mandatory training modules on diversity, inclusion and behaviour awareness.
We will continue to consistently sponsor employees to pursue training opportunities, ranging from apprenticeships to
degree-level education underscoring our commitment to fostering continuous learning and development at all levels.
Mentoring
Introducing a mentoring scheme is part of our commitment to career development, we acknowledge the signi昀椀cance of
having visible role models and providing mentorship opportunities for our employees. Our goal is to create a supportive
environment where individuals can openly discuss challenges and opportunities, while mentors offer invaluable guidance
to enhance leadership skills and inspire con昀椀dence.
Female Forum
As part of the FM Conway Group, we have representatives from Toppes昀椀eld join their Female Forum creating an inclusive
environment where female can share experiences, voice their perspectives, and collaboratively devise strategies to
enhance our company’s appeal to female talent.
