How can we create a fairer, more inclusive construction industry—and where do we start?
Two dynamic, interactive sessions led by EDI experts Lyndsey Britton and Lynsey Harbottle from 50:50, you’ll gain the tools to break down barriers and implement meaningful change.
The Small Steps programme seeks to demystify the actions needed to build a truly equitable workplace by providing a hands-on opportunity to learn, share, and take real steps toward a stronger, more inclusive future for the industry.
Session 1- Laying the foundations for an inclusive workplace, 50:50

- define clear, actionable EDI objectives aligned with their organisation’s vision
- identify tangible improvements that create lasting impact
This session will give you the clarity and confidence to set meaningful EDI benchmarks that drive real change.
Session 2- Breaking down barriers: Pay transparency and inclusion
How does pay transparency drive inclusion? This session unpacks the link between fair compensation and workplace equity, tackling industry-specific challenges in architecture and construction.
Participants will:
- explore how pay transparency impacts diversity, retention, and trust
