This year’s theme for International Women's Day is #EmbraceEquity.

So what’s the different between equality and equity?

Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or opportunities.

Equity recognises that each person has different circumstances, and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome.

The Morris & Spottiswood Group understand the importance of recognising the individual needs of each and every employee across the group and work hard to ensure these requirements are met. This is particularly important in attracting women to the construction industry - the key is being agile and flexible in our approach to make it more accessible.
