ABC is committed to supporting industry efforts to overcome the challenges and maximize the opportunities associated with an increasingly diverse workforce and subcontractor/supplier base.
ABC’s objective is to help shape an industry that is welcoming to all people—where employees and suppliers are limited only by their own potential, clients’ needs are actively served and shareholders receive value for their investment.
The purpose of the Employer Guide is to provide guidance, direction, information, and reference materials for ABC member companies that are initiating or further developing an existing Diversity Program.
Building and sustaining diversity have emerged as key issues that construction companies must address as they invest in the future. Member companies can use this
assessment tool (PDF) to evaluate diversity within your organizations.
ABC has allocated funds to support diversity efforts at the chapter level. The primary purpose of the grant is to support new and existing programs at local chapters that:
- Increase the diversity of the chapter's membership to reflect the diversity of the construction industry
- Provide education to minority and women-owned construction firms to increase their ability to be competitive in a free-enterprise environment, and/or
- Attract minorities and women into the construction workforce.
The grant application is designed to capture the information that is necessary so that successful programs can be replicated across the country.
