Love this post by Joana Traver !! What a great reminder today as we celebrate women in all roles. "It's essential to remember that true equality in the workforce goes beyond just numbers. The significant presence of women doesn't automatically result in a female-centered company if they're not equally represented in leadership roles. Equality means equitable participation at all levels, especially in decision-making positions." #internationalwomensday #internationalwomensday2024 #iwd2024womenleadingtheway #womeninleadership #womenempowerment

Celebrating Women of Influence in Architecture and Interior Design series – Lisa-Maree Carrigan - in the Australian Design Review Lisa-Maree, our Director of Architecture and Urban Design, is honored to be featured in the company of many notable women in the industry.

She strives for greatness in all aspects of her professional and personal life, commending and crediting those who help her achieve this along the way. 🟡 Key to her success is her energy, passion and focus on creating collaborative project environments that support innovation, problem-solving and people. 🟡 Carrigan says that she was often the only woman at conferences or meetings, but sees this culture within architecture shifting. 🟡 As a founding partner of Tomorrow's Women in Construction, the practice also aims to offer grassroots exposure to 13-17 year-old girls of the multitude of career choices in the industry  🟡“Since we completed the buyout and restructure of GroupGSA, 53 percent of our workforce across the four disciplines of architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, and interior design are women.” 🙌 And further to this article ---Lisa is also proud to share a gender pay gap at GroupGSA of only 5.6%, significantly lower than the industry average. (Data published for 2022-2023 by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency.) #womeninarchitecture #iwd2024 #genderpayequity #femaleleadership https://lnkd.in/e-eDuvFB

Celebrating Women: The Crucial Role of Women Representation in the Trades Industry The trades industry has long been perceived as a male-dominated domain, but women are breaking barriers and making remarkable strides in this traditionally male-centric field. The importance of women representation in the trades industry cannot be overstated, as it brings a fresh perspective, diversity, and unparalleled skills to an environment that benefits from their unique contributions. Here are my top opinions on the importance of more female representation in the trades industry: Diverse Perspectives Lead to Innovation -   Women bring diverse perspectives and approaches to problem-solving, which fosters innovation and creativity within the trades industry. Their presence challenges traditional methods and encourages the adoption of new ideas and practices, ultimately leading to improved efficiency and productivity. Breaking Stereotypes and Shattering Glass Ceilings -  female representation in the trades industry challenges stereotypes and breaks down barriers. As they succeed in various roles traditionally dominated by men, women pave the way for future generations, inspiring young girls to explore career opportunities in the trades with confidence. Skills and Dedication Shine Bright - Women have proven time and again that their skills, dedication, and attention to detail make them invaluable assets in the trades. Whether in carpentry, painting, electrical work, or plumbing, women demonstrate a commitment to excellence that drives exceptional results. Encouraging More Women to Join - Encouraging women to join the trades industry requires creating an environment that welcomes diversity and supports growth. Providing mentorship programs, apprenticeships, and networking opportunities can help women gain the necessary skills and confidence to thrive in their chosen trades. The significance of women representation in the trades industry cannot be overstated. As women continue to shatter glass ceilings and redefine what's possible, the trades industry thrives with their diverse perspectives, innovative approaches, and unwavering dedication. It is vital to empower, support, and celebrate women's achievements in the trades, fostering an inclusive environment that benefits both the workforce and the clients they serve. At A Woman's Brush, we take immense pride in being part of the movement to celebrate women representation in the trades. Our woman-owned and operated painting company embraces diversity and is dedicated to showcasing the transformative power of female expertise in the home improvement industry.
