Last week, to celebrate Pride month, we held a coffee morning filled with fruit and treats to celebrate diversity and promote inclusion within our company and beyond.

PJ Hegarty is on a journey to build a more inclusive workplace for all our employees, who are the heart and soul of our company. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone can be their authentic selves, and for this month and beyond, we stand in support of LGBTQ+ colleagues and community.

We have also scheduled a webinar with Pride at Work to teach us how to understand the meaning and concept of Diversity, Intersectionality, Equality v Equity, Inclusion and Belonging.

Posted on by ainehargadon

Happy International Women’s Day, a day to celebrate and champion the fantastic women within our organisation and the construction industry.

Check out our #IWD2023 video with our EHS Manager, Sinead Gaines, as she discusses the construction industry and how she believes we can attract more women to build a more equal and diverse industry.

We are very proud to be Gold Sponsors of the Construction Industry Federation (CIF) International Women’s Day Summit 2023 and be awarded Silver Investors in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion from the Irish Centre for Diversity.

We took a moment to celebrate and show our appreciation to all the fantastic women working across our company by gifting them hampers to show a small token of our gratitude.
