Celebrating International Women’s Day: Accelerating Action for Gender Equality On International Women’s Day

Our CEO, Liza Taylor, had the honour of joining Beijer Ref’s panel discussion on the theme “Accelerate Action.” This theme underscores the urgency of driving meaningful change to create a more inclusive and equitable workplace for women in the refrigeration and HVAC industries.

Liza was joined by Beijer Ref Head of People, Elissa Henderson; General Manager, Brett Hedge; and Marketing Manager, Elizabeth Paparo for an engaging discussion on how we can take tangible steps toward improving gender equality.

A key focus of the discussion was the ASBEC Women in Construction Pilot Program, which aims to create more leadership opportunities for women in traditionally male-dominated industries. The program provided structured mentorship, networking opportunities, and targeted professional development initiatives to support women in advancing their careers. The results were compelling—41% of women involved in the program secured leadership roles, either through promotions or participation in industry associations and initiatives.

Liza also shared insights from an industry-wide survey highlighting key challenges and opportunities for gender diversity in the sector. She emphasised the importance of leadership development, building industry networks, and fostering a culture of inclusion to ensure long-term change.

At Global IQ Group, we are proud to champion initiatives that accelerate action toward a more diverse and inclusive industry. We look forward to continuing these conversations and driving real progress for women in construction and beyond
