THE CONSTRUCTION LEADERSHIP GAP
This isn't a maternity issue - it is a leadership issue
Well supported mums are the biggest asset in your business.
Research demonstrates that mums returning to work are better communicators, they bring better prioritisation, deep emotional regulation, increased empathy and an ability to spot risk that is second to none.
​
All the skills the leaders in your business need.
But when the transition back to work is unsupported, confidence drops, performance dips, and many leave - taking all of that potential with them.​
We help you create the conditions for mums in construction to thrive and progress. In a way that works for everyone.
Let's face it - if anyone can fix a leaky pipeline or broken rung problem, it should be construction right?
OUR MISSION
The UK Construction Industry needs to retain more mums to help tackle the skills crisis. You've already invested in maternity packages, return to work schemes and flexible working - but there is still a gap. Highly capable, skilled professionals come back from maternity leave but 12 months later many aren't progressing. They are feeling stuck, lacking in confidence and questioning their place in the industry.
We know you can't afford to lose these brilliant technical professionals. At INSIDE we tailor our support to help your talented mums to grow into confident, capable leaders.
Lets get your working mums staying, progressing and thriving.
