From Insights to Action Plan:
Toolkit For Advancing Women in Construction
Is your ‘women in construction strategy’ stuck at recruitment?
Our research shows that most women prioritize having a clear path to career advancement over salary or flexibility. Without a plan to advance women at your company, you’re pouring time, money and energy into a leaky bucket.
In this webinar, we’re giving you a sneak peek of a new actionable toolkit designed to help companies move beyond recruitment and pave the way for more women to move into leadership positions.

From Insights to Action Plan
After we released the Building Better report last year, we didn’t just sit back—we took action. At the AGC Construction HR & Workforce Conference, we shared our research findings with the industry’s top Workforce Development and HR professionals.
Then we challenged everyone in the room with the simple but crucial question:
What will you do now?“
The response was inspiring.
Together, we crafted an action plan to drive meaningful progress on individual, company, and industry levels.
In this webinar, we’re laying it all out.
Discover the hard-hitting insights from our research and the practical steps being taken to level the playing field as we unveil the Building Better Action Plan: A Toolkit for Advancing Women In Construction. From fostering inclusive workplaces to implementing tangible policy changes, we’re equipping you with the tools and strategies to make a difference.
This isn’t just another webinar—it’s a call to action.
We’re ready to roll up our sleeves with the most progressive companies in the industry and build a future where every woman (and everyone!) can thrive.

Delving into Women’s Experiences and Unlocking the Keys to Retention
Recruitment and hiring efforts have helped bring more women into the construction industry in recent years, but those efforts don’t guarantee that women will stay. If the work environment doesn’t give women what they’re seeking, they will leave.
Building Better explores these important questions about women in construction:
- Are they getting what they want and need?
- Will they stay in the industry?
- What will it take to keep them?

A Call to Action: Join Us In Driving Real Change
BUILDING BETTER is a collaboration between Ambition Theory and the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) born out of a mutual desire to increase opportunities for women in the construction industry.
Our partnership was established to provide data-driven practical insights and tools to companies in the construction industry who are genuinely committed to making the industry more inclusive. We are on a mission to empower companies to take action and drive real change.
Employee resource groups and mentorship programs provide women with support, guidance and safe spaces to share their experiences, but they don’t work to drive sustainable change and still leave the burden of change on women’s shoulders.
We believe that everyone needs to play a role in creating a more equitable workplace. Building Better is a call to action for all stakeholders to join forces and make a positive impact on the industry.
Our 2024 Women In Construction Week webinar and launch of our Building Better Action Plan: A Toolkit for Advancing Women In Construction is the next step in our journey.
