You may have heard some of the buzz around “International Women’s Day”, celebrated annually on March 8th around the world, but did you know there’s also a “Women in Construction” week? This year, we’re taking a moment to honor CRD’s female employees who contribute to our company’s welcoming and diverse culture while also bringing a level of expertise that helps CRD excel in the design-build remodeling field.

什么是国际妇女节?

The first International Women's Day (IWD) celebration took place in 1911. It wasn't until 1913 that it was officially decided that IWD would be held on March 8th. Millions of men and women all around the world come together every year on this day to celebrate the achievements of women and to bring awareness to the inequality they face.

Today we reflect on the extraordinary women who help make CRD one of the industry-leading remodelers!

看数字

没有内部配额可以为妇女雇用,而是在CRD Design Build,我们专注于资格和专业知识。我们雇用的女性是她们角色的最佳候选人。CRD有26名员工,其中10名是女性(38%)。一个在野外工作,办公室里的九项工作;妇女占据了七人公司领导团队的四个职位。根据OSHA进行的一项研究,2010年,有80万名妇女在建筑行业工作。

At CRD, we focus solely on qualifications and expertise whenever we’re looking to fill a role, which has resulted in 26 full-time employees who help us fulfill our company passion of “Finding the potential in people and spaces.”

Compared to most remodeling firms in the country, CRD’s female-to-male mix is much higher than average. According toOSHA的最新统计数据, only 9% of the United States construction workers are women (including both administrative positions and field positions.) When you look at the makeup of CRD’s workforce, currently, 38% of our staff are women and 62% are men. When focusing on just our seven-person leadership team, over half of the members (57%) are women.

CRD的领导团队由七名员工组成,他们每周开会,以审查公司的当前状况,并将其与他们正在努力的1年,3年和10年计划进行比较。七个成员中有四个是女性,她们为领导桌带来了不同的经验背景。
