Ricky, our Senior Foreman, has been leading agile working in the [site based] team. It's enabled his team to attend family hospital appointments, complete further training and see their daughters school play. Very pleased to see his work has been recognised! https://t.co/ulqYRA64UW

"I asked our Board to agree to remove all plastic straws from our pubs, and they said Yes immediately - because all their kids had seen Blue Planet and were nagging them about it" - Whitbread's @Pitcher_CSR #Xenergy @thecrowd

2016: GB hockey 🥇

2018: England netball 🥇
Three glorious moments in sport. Three glorious moments in women's team sport. Three game changing moments.

Seeing a lot of companies merrily explaining their gender pay gap as "our junior staff are all women and our senior staff are all men".
Do they not realise that this translates to "as a company we systematically hire and promote more men to senior positions than women"?

#genderequality goes in both directions; in Norway, where women hold the majority of political power, the government explains to young boys that men are permitted in parliament! (Corporate Norway still has some catching up to do however.. #GenderPayGap ) https://t.co/aFYTB9txnh

“The challenge in the Scandinavian countries is not to end up with a large group of young men who have no purpose in life, no hope for a job,” says Erna Solberg, PM of Norway https://t.co/SPNtFngMYo

Such a good point; I doubt anyone wakes up thinking "what shall do as a woman in XX today..". So long as we use this phrase, we also alienate another 50% of the population - men. Summarised excellently by https://t.co/UcOco09h7n from @Edu_Employers #redrawthebalance https://t.co/UpTPwfRfYU

I continue to get asked if I want to talk about "being a woman in tech", and it bothers me.

I don't start my day thinking about what it feels like to be a woman in tech. I start my day thinking about what I'm going to build, learn and do.

Impatiently waiting for the @TheBQF awards to start with some great @SkanskaUKplc colleagues nominated for the Innovation in Diversity and Inclusion award. It's also a bit like hogwarts in here! #awardsdinner #nominees #bqfawards

Final #iwd event on rail project today: I asked our #seniorleaders to look around the team away day to ponder why there were so few women, & lack of general diversity.. needless to say some opinionated discussion followed #InternationalWomenDay2018 #risetothetop #pressforprogress

[Alice Jennison @Alicee_jenn]

@Katie_Cranes Super inspiring! Well done!

[Katie Kelleher @Katie_Cranes]

Happy #IWD2018 Shout out to all my male colleagues that in the absence of any other female team members on site have treated me with respect and one of the team.
Shout out to all the amazing strong women I have met on my many many adventures. #womensday2018 #construction #cranes

@ExxonMobil_EU Hi, what key 3 things did you do to achieve this? Sounds like a good case study, would love to know more.

[Alice Jennison @Alicee_jenn]

@carmelecampbell @SkanskaUKplc @CostainGroup Yes, entirely agree with you. We are a male dominated industry, so their support is vital.

[Alice Jennison @Alicee_jenn]

Bringing our men along with #InternationalWomensDay. Here's the start of shift briefing on our rail construction site talking. We're talking about macho culture & how a workplace that supports women brings benefits for men too #IWD18 @CostainGroup @SkanskaUKplc #menasallies

Happy International Women's Day to all you awesome wonderful women ❤

[Alice Jennison @Alicee_jenn]

#2 for #InternationalWomansDay - not satisfied that gender equality will take 77 years, we hosted a Lean In workshop to discuss parenting, long hours & interupting. 50/50 male/female split ensured a lively discussion! #IWD2018 #LeanIn #leanintogether @CostainGroup @SkanskaUKplc

[Alice Jennison @Alicee_jenn]

@ManonBradley @MaddoxWinSeries @cerievhotmailc1 Absolutely, I am already plotting what to do next. Would love to hear your ideas @ManonBradley - can you DM your contact details?
