Executive Workshop

Executive Workshop

 Thursday 7 November 2024

This workshop will cover: 

  • Retaining diversity, talent & skills?

Integrating DEI in your business

  • What are our competitors doing? 

Workplace trends fostering inclusion

  • Where to start? Who to involve? 

Building your diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) program

  • What gets in the way of DEI?

Assumptions, biases, systemic barriers

The case for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) is well-established: better financial performance, more engaged employees, improved innovation, and enhanced market reputation. The Diversity Council of Australia has found that workers in inclusive teams are 10 times more likely to be innovative and 11 times more likely to be effective. 

How do we create workplaces where everyone feels valued, respected, and has equal opportunity to thrive? And what can we do to overcome challenges unique to our industry - from a limited talent pipeline to traditionally-male, 24/7 environments? 

With support from the NSW Government’s Women in Construction program, Consult Australia’s Breaking Barriers and Building Inclusion Executive Workshop offers a deep-dive into practical tools and resources.  This workshop is tailored to help leaders and their executives working across design, engineering, infrastructure or construction take the next steps appropriate for their business.

Leadership forum held in May 2024, Breaking Barriers & Building Inclusion.

Can including women in the Monday morning sports debrief really change the culture of Australia’s construction industry? Construction superstar Alison Mirams thinks so.


It’s an unusual piece of advice, but characteristically canny from the woman who built a boutique construction company with a $1.5 billion pipeline in just five years.

Speaking at Consult Australia’s recent Breaking Barriers & Building Inclusion Forum, Alison suggested the routine chat about the weekend’s sporting results could be a catalyst for change.


“My best friend at uni taught me the rules of every sport and I did not realise at the time what a gift he was giving me,” Alison, who stepped down as Executive Chair of Roberts Co earlier this year, told a rapt audience. Alison was joined by a powerhouse panel of leaders who came together to champion diversity, inclusion and cultural change as part of Consult Australia’s Breaking Barriers & Building Inclusion program in mid-May.
