To celebrate Pride Month, we hosted Pride-themed coffee mornings across our construction sites and offices to promote diversity and inclusion.
PJ Hegarty is steadfast in its commitment to building a more inclusive workplace for all our employees and creating an environment where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work. 🌈
We were delighted to welcome students from Scoil Bernadette, Montenotte, to our Cork site as part of the WALK PEER programme which helps bridge the transition for students from special education to employment. Our visitors, interested in careers in trades such as carpentry and joinery, had the opportunity to speak directly with our skilled tradespeople, learning about the various career pathways construction offers and the level of collaboration between the trades at each project stage.
Our Contracts Manager, Noel McDonnell, guided the tour alongside HR Business Partner, Genevieve Rose. They demonstrated our commitment to developing a supportive and inclusive work environment while our people shared their experiences working in trades, offering valuable insights into their roles and the dynamic nature of the industry.
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.
