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.
Practical resources
Start with the issue you are trying to solve. Use one tool, test what works and build from there.

Choose one workplace issue, identify an owner, agree practical actions and review what changed.

Review facilities, PPE, induction, flexibility, work allocation, reporting and everyday site practices.
Speaking Up Conversation Guide
A practical guide to listening, responding and following through when someone raises an issue.
Keeping Good People Check-In
Simple questions supervisors can use to understand what is working and what may be getting in the way.
Making Flexibility Work: Supervisor's Guide

Fair Opportunities Check
Review how access to training, tickets, project experience and opportunities to step up are being allocated.
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
Understand what makes people stay, what pushes them out and the everyday actions leaders can take before a good worker decides to leave.
Making Work Work for Everyone
Look at practical flexibility, parental leave, hours, caring responsibilities and how work can be planned in a way that supports people and project delivery.
Setting the Standard on Site
Focus on the everyday behaviours leaders, supervisors and workers reinforce, and how clear expectations shape workplace culture.
Speaking Up and Responding Well
Build confidence around raising concerns, listening properly, responding fairly and following through when something is not right.
Creating Fair Opportunities
Look at access to training, tickets, project experience, acting opportunities and the pathways that help people develop and progress.
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.
