Facilities Management – Women’s perspective, 3 June 2009, London

"Women are severely under-represented in the construction industry - our latest research has shown that there is a high demand for more communication channels between them" Dr Lisa Worrell (Salford University).

The day will introduce the topic of women and facilities management, how women employed in the construction industry can engage with each other, and why FM offers greater opportunities and is more appealing than related sectors.

If you would like to gain an insight into the issues surrounding women working in FM, or hear how leading practitioners are dealing with these aspects, then book your place today!

Come and hear talks from Liz Kentish, chair of Women in FM Special Interest Group (WiFM SIG) Julie Kortens, deputy chair, and Lucy Jeynes, of the WiFM SIG committee. Discussions will focus on relevant issues such as benefits and opportunities for women in FM and the barriers faced.
