Diversity and Inclusion
Diversity and Inclusion in the flexible pavement industry
Australian Flexible Pavement Association (AfPA) recognises the positive benefits an inclusive workforce plays on all aspects of our lives – attracting the best talent drives innovation, productivity and best practice outcomes. AfPA seeks to develop strategies tailored to the industry’s unique culture and workforce with a focus on empowering and encouraging diversity, including fostering emerging talent, women, people from indigenous communities, refugees and migrants, and all minorities.
AfPA’s Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
The AfPA is strongly committed to gender equity and diversity, working across the flexible pavement industry to address the barriers and challenges to successfully attract, recruit and retain a broad workforce.
