More and more construction companies are getting serious about their equal opportunities policies and actively work to diversify their workforce.
The benefits of a more diverse workforce are: .

• Giving young people from all backgrounds a chance to work in construction
• Attracting maximum talent
• A workforce that reflects the community you work within means you are more likely to provide jobs for local people
• Women (or other diverse employees) will often have lower absentee rates, and increased commitment
• Diverse employees tend to be better educated/trained as they have often gone down formal routes
• Lots of employers report a better culture on site, more respectful and professional
• Helps you deliver Olympic Commitments and meet public sector procurement requirements

At the 2011 Expo, 55 exhibitors saw over 250 vistors seeking employment or training.

Stand registration costs just £50 and you can choose from several advertising and sponsorship packages if you want your company to stand out as a diversity champion. Watch this space for details of exhibiting at the 2012 Expo.
