Building industry has not been seen in the past as one that promotes diversity and inclusion, says chief executive Stephen Garvey
The construction industry must do more to encourage diversity and inclusivity among its workforces, according to the chief executive of one of Ireland’s biggest housebuilders. Glenveagh Properties chief executive Stephen Garvey said achieving greater diversity and inclusion in the industry was an “essential step” in expanding the workforce to the level necessary to tackle Ireland’s housing crisis.
“We have a duty to our colleagues and to people who want to pursue their careers with us to be a responsible employer that makes everyone feel both welcome and valued,” he said. “The construction industry has not been seen in the past as one that promotes diversity and inclusion, and collectively we must change that for the better.
Glenveagh Properties said it remained on track to meet its building targets this year despite reporting a fall-off in earnings. In a trading update in recent weeks the home-builder said it had completed 800 units of its 2,700 full-year target for 2024, and that it still expected full-year earnings per share to more than double to 17 cent, up from 8 cent in 2023.
