Practical tools for better construction workplaces.
Short training and practical resources designed for the realities of building and construction. Use them with your team, on site or across your business to help create workplaces where women can stay, develop and build long-term careers.
Practical change starts with what happens every day.
Construction workplaces are busy, project-based and constantly changing. Level the Site focuses on the everyday decisions, behaviours and systems that shape whether people feel supported, treated fairly and able to build a future in the industry.

Fair Opportunities Check

Getting women into construction is only part of the job.
Women also need workplaces where they have the opportunity, support and conditions to stay and progress. That means looking at what happens after someone walks through the gate, from supervision and flexibility to workplace behaviour and access to opportunities.
Start small. Then follow through.
Workplace change does not have to begin with a major program. Start with one issue you can influence and make the next action clear.
- Choose one issue that matters in your workplace.
- Give someone responsibility for taking action.
- Ask workers what they actually experience.
- Make one practical change.
- Check whether it made a difference.
Level the Site training
Five short modules focused on the workplace issues that can make a real difference to whether people stay and progress. The modules are being developed and will be available soon. In the meantime, the practical resources above are ready to use.
Keeping Good People

Making Flexibility work
Explore practical ways to manage working hours, caring responsibilities, parental leave and returning to work. See how planning and clear conversations can support your people while keeping projects moving.
Everyday Respect on Site
Recognise the comments, assumptions and everyday behaviours that can undermine respect and trust. Practise simple ways to respond, back your colleagues and set a better standard on site.
Speaking Up and Following Through
Build confidence to raise concerns, listen properly and respond fairly when something isn’t right. Learn how to support a colleague, receive feedback and follow through with meaningful action.
Giving People a Fair Go
Look at who gets access to training, tickets, hands-on experience and opportunities to progress. Learn how to recognise assumptions and make fairer decisions that help people develop and succeed.
Better workplaces are built through everyday decisions. Choose one place to start.
Choose a practical resource, use it with your team and start a conversation about what could work better in your workplace.
