Increasingly women are joining the workforce in the extractive and heavy industries and companies need help to make this transition. I can help you to think through strategies to successfully incorporate women into the workforce, address cultural and systemic barriers, and reorient your company towards full inclusion for male and female employees.

The team was able to increase female employement by 43% (over 500 women) in one year and implement numerous intiatives including a communications campaign, an alternative placement system for pregnant women, and a full upgrading of policies and facilities.
