Women of Waterproofing - WoW Networking Group
Women currently make up 14% of construction professionals within the United Kingdom, 37% of new entrants into the industry are women, however with gender pay gaps and other related issues being widely reported in the news, wanted to emphasise the rewards, challenges and benefits of being in the waterproofing sector.
Through research it was apparent what the sector was ‘missing’ something to encourage more women into the waterproofing industry. The idea of a networking group was set.
A meeting with Delta’s Directors set a clear outline, to inspire and empower, to developing and encouraging more women into the waterproofing sector and for a greater acceptance within the industry. As the battle for top talent becomes more competitive, training and development programs are more important than ever and encouraging more women into the sector would have a positive effect.
Delta’s Directors agreed to sponsor luncheons, logo design, time and offered use of their social media, website and contacts to launch this innovation.
