Connecting people and organisations across the built environment
Building People brings together specialist organisations working with diverse and under-represented talent to enable collaboration, amplify voices and to drive collective action for lasting culture change.
We give employers direct access to the UK’s most diverse built environment talent pipeline – and position them as leaders driving strategic inclusive change.
Construction Leadership Council
Connecting organisations for a ‘one voice’ approach towards culture change
Over 75 organisations supporting under-represented people across the built environment: We’re creating stronger connections between diverse talent, opportunity and the organisations working for change.
Amplifying the work and voices of specialist organisations.
Reducing fragmentation and creating strategic opportunities to collaborate.
Connecting grassroots delivery with sector leadership activity.
Supported by organisations across the built environment
Building People’s work is made possible through long-term support and collaboration with organisations that share our commitment to a better connected and more inclusive sector.
The breadth and scale of our reach
Multiple organisations across the built environment are working independently to support under-represented talent, creating opportunities and driving change. Building People’s role is to strategically connect and amplify that work, minimising duplication of effort and aiming for a collective voice.
Resources for culture change
The FIR Programme at the Supply Chain Sustainability School hosts a wide range of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and Fairness, Inclusion and Respect material for the built environment.
Building People’s Network of Networks also creates a significant amount of relevant content. Making that material easier to discover means Network members can reach a wider audience, while employers and people across the sector can access more of the insight, guidance and resources already being created.
Building People has therefore worked with the Supply Chain Sustainability School to create a dedicated landing page where Network of Networks members can share their material and visitors to the FIR Programme can access Building People member content in one place.
Making useful sector knowledge easier to find and share
Share your workforce data
The annual Diversity Data Benchmarking Survey provides construction and built environment organisations with comprehensive, sector-wide evidence on which to act. It gives organisations benchmarked data showing where they stand and where the wider industry needs to go, rather than relying on assumptions or guesswork.
