We love working in the trades industry. Using our hands and skill to make something great fills us with a sense of pride and accomplishment. Working with other amazing, talented and kind people makes this 'job' so much better. We truly like coming to work everyday.
The skilled trades industry is stereotypically centered around specific gender and cultural expectations or behaviours. Fostering change within these boundaries might seem pointless. Finding a place where you fit into this industry, safely and authentically, can feel impossible.
It's up to us, the business owners, to foster that change and create safe spaces, for everyone. We need to show up for everyone on our Team, and in our client base. Let them know that we see their diversity, uniqueness and worth, and we honour it, and want to be a supportive and inclusive place for everyone. To work, to build community, to make something amazing together, and find a place for themselves where they are respected, valued and supported.
One of the perks of running your own business is that you can run it however you'd like. You can set the tone. You can raise the bar. This is powerful. Use that power for good. β₯οΈ
This pride month, consider what you could do in your trades business, big or small, to show your support. Not sure where to start? Hit us up! We love talking about this stuff.
