Sn. 4, #11 Kristina Mahler: Normalizing Women As Construction Workers

As a woman in the construction industry, all you want is to be treated as an equal in the workplace. Joining us today to discuss this topic is the director of Crew Collaborative, Kristina Mahler. We talk about how far the company has come since we last met with Kristina, the difficulties of starting a non-profit organization during a pandemic, and the company’s Classroom Talks and Ambassador Program projects. We also discuss their mission to change the face of construction and the stigma around a career in this industry. Next, we go into why we need to support women in construction being attacked on social media and why focusing on other people’s opinions can be detrimental. We then delve into why women in construction don’t want to be singled out and how the best thing we can do to support them is to treat them as equals. Finally, we discuss the importance of supporting the mental health of employees and how we can champion actual change in the industry. To hear all this and more, tune in today!
