Full Event Videos: Improving & Promoting Wellbeing & Diversity in Construction & Property Conference; in association with Stephen George + Partners

This online conference will focus on diversity, inclusion, health and wellbeing in the construction and property industry.

Worker wellbeing in the construction industry has rarely been out of the headlines over the past few years – and rightly so – and that’s why we’re committed to running a free-to-attend virtual event focused on EDI and Wellbeing every six months.

The construction industry has the highest suicide rate of any other profession – whilst several hours a year are lost in productivity due to work-related stress, depression and anxiety. And there are many challenges to overcome – from long hours, extended times working away from home, temporary and precarious nature of many projects, diversity challenges, the ‘macho culture’ and more have all contributed.

This online conference will look to break down stigmas, bring awareness to issues and challenges, and hear from those at the forefront of change – sharing details on what is being done successfully across the UK in many different sectors of the industry. A large focus in the past on Health & Safety has been on physical hazards – and now it’s now to focus on the wellbeing of our most important asset – the workforce.

Topics will focus on:

• Inclusive regeneration and building communities with people from all backgrounds
• Challenges of attracting and retaining diverse talents
• Addressing digital burnout
• How health inequalities can often supress social mobility
• We will also challenge our unconscious bias

Speakers for this event include:
