STRENGTH IN SECURITY
The Woman Behind the Shield
Women-owned businesses in construction foster diversity and innovation, playing a pivotal role in the industry. In fact, a report from the U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce, women-owned firms account for approximately 14% of businesses in the security and life safety services sector.
Diverse teams, including those with female leaders, bring new viewpoints and approaches to problem-solving to the security and life safety process. The Construction Industry Institute (CII) suggests that diverse teams, including those led by women, enhance security and life safety, leading to project success and improved financial performance.
Promoting women-owned businesses in the security and life safety industry not only promotes gender equality but also enhances the industry’s adaptability to changing security threats. Now that sounds like power.
