Women Thriving in Construction (Ep 14): Faye Allen discusses her book, “Building Women: How Everyone In Construction Can Win.”

How exciting to be joined by co-host and fellow author Brent Darnell for this amazing podcast with UK construction industry leader and author Faye Allen to discuss her book, "Building Women: How Everyone In Construction Can Win". This book is a gift to the industry. Faye speaks from experience when describing an industry that is "not great for men either," as evidenced by UK construction suicide statistics. Two male construction workers die by suicide daily, four times the national industry average. We discuss how our culture and project pressures contribute to this staggering mental health challenge, and the importance of allyship as an "active role" in shifting this culture and supporting the success of both men and women.
