Dyer & Butler ENABLE Network announced as finalist at ECI Training & Development Awards 2024
18th October 2024
We are proud to announce that our ENABLE Network has been selected as a finalist in the ‘ED&I Initiative of the Year’ category at The Engineering Construction Industry (ECI) Training & Development Awards 2024.
The ECI Training & Development Awards, which take place at One Marylebone on 5 November 2024, is a celebration of excellence, bringing together industry leaders, influencers and policymakers, as well as the rising stars of tomorrow.
This award shortlisting recognises the impact and dedication of our ENABLE Network to equity, diversity and inclusion within our sector. Established in 2021, our ENABLE Network champions inclusion and diversity in six categories: Ethnicity & Culture, Neurodiversity & Disability, Ageism & Lived Experience, LGBTQ+ and Enabling Social Mobility.
Since formation, our group has worked to make several positive changes across our business, including introducing sanitary bins across all sites, increasing our presence at Pride events and several inclusion workshops for all colleagues.
Our ENABLE Network frequently hosts Lived Experience Webinars. Most recently, the Network organised the ‘Autism Lived Experience Webinar’ which featured parents discussing their experience raising children with autism and individuals with autism sharing their personal journey.
The Network has provided a clear structure for breaking bias within our sector. It shines a spotlight on underrepresented groups in our industry and not only champions them but offers tangible support and resources. Its impact is not just on our people, but also on the communities and projects in which we work.
We look forward to continuing to support and grow our ENABLE Network, to achieve more for inclusion and diversity in the next 12 months and beyond.
Congratulations to everyone else nominated and we look forward to celebrating with you in November!
