Greatness Podcast (Ep 142) | Dean Riha Discusses Implementing the Construction Culture Standard in Australia

How do you double the percentage of women on a construction project? Improve wellbeing? And achieve better project outcomes? 

Dean Riha of Fulton Hogan shares an incredible case study of the implementation of the construction industry Culture Standard in Australia that focuses upon increasing 1) time for life, 2) wellbeing, and 3) diversity while improving productivity and project outcomes. 

This pilot project finished on time, on budget, and people worked 21 days less with no loss in take home pay and no loss in productivity. RMIT's academic research showed an improvement in engagement and wellbeing. The project had 21% women and over 8% women in the trades versus the typical 2-3% (a third of the senior leadership was female as well).
