 <td>To better understand gender diversity trends in the consulting engineering profession, CESA undertook a qualitative study through a questionnaire distributed to the industry. The results of the study were presented by CESA board member, Refilwe Lesufi at the CESA Annual Infrastructure Indaba in March 2020.
 &ldquo;Driving gender diversity in the workplace is becoming increasingly important. However, despite the somewhat supportive policy and legislative environment, challenges persist with high levels of gender inequality in the workplace. This is evidenced by the low number of registered female professionals in the built environment industry,&rdquo; said Lesufi. &ldquo;Advancing South Africa&rsquo;s transformation agenda is therefore an important, complex and multifaceted problem.&rdquo;
 The study found that the industry widely acknowledges the value of a gender-diverse workforce. However, only 22% of firms studied have a gender diversity policy or programme in place. &ldquo;It is important that companies in the private sector prioritise policy around this, as this will hopefully also encourage government to mirror this,&rdquo; said Lesufi. Challenges to implementing policy included the learning curve, time and financial costs, as well as organisational culture. Firms were concerned that there would be issues with integration, that there would be resistance from employees, and that quota systems would limit hiring ability. To combat this, firms listed female empowerment, company culture, and training initiatives as important in driving transformation. 
 &ldquo;It is crucial that organisations adorn a &lsquo;set of spectacles&rsquo; through which they can drive gender diversity. Policy should be put in place, and leaders must set the culture and tone.&rdquo; She emphasised that firms cannot expect their younger, new staff to drive transformation, as these voices are not heard. &ldquo;In Africa we are so different, sometimes it paralyses us. We should see our differences as our strength,&rdquo; concluded Lesufi.
