• Celebrating the Women of Star Group on International Women's Day 2024 - Celebrating the Women of Star Group on International Women's Day Today, on International Women's Day, we celebrate the incredible women across Star Group who contribute daily to our organisation. It is a day to recognise and appreciate the achievements of women worldwide, and we are proud to be part of this global movement. Yesterday, at Star Group we had the opportunity to hear from Lauren Couter, a director of Construction Control, about her journey to becoming an industry leader. Lauren also provided invaluable insights on what she finds effective in promoting female participation. We recognise women's unique challenges and are committed to supporting and empowering them in every way possible. We firmly believe in gender equality and are committed to building an inclusive workplace culture where everyone feels valued and respected. Let us continue to work together towards a more equal and just world for women everywhere. Happy International Women's Day!

This provides us with a unique opportunity to learn and grow in this space, as NAWIC offers a forum for its members to meet, share information, exchange ideas, and find solutions. NAWIC has a mission to drive positive change that will help to increase the recruitment, retention, and vocational development of women in all facets of the construction industry. As an industry, around 12% of the workforce is female, which drops to around 2% for on-site roles, so there is plenty of room for improvement. NAWIC achieves its mission by advocating and lobbying for change, educating individuals, companies, and industries, and connecting, celebrating, and supporting all women in construction. As part of our membership, all our employees can become members for free and receive access to documentation and support that NAWIC can offer.
