RICS, 55 Colmore Row, Birmingham B3 2AA

In-Person

Overview

Birmingham Local Member Group in collaboration with Warwick Business School and University of Birmingham, Real Estate Women welcome you to a roundtable to discuss the gender pay gap in real estate and surveying.

An insight report published by RICS in July 2023 concluded that women in surveying and the wider built environment sector face recurring challenges throughout their careers due to:

  • discrimination
  • bias (whether unconscious or intentional)
  • inequity in opportunities and systemic practices.
     

This roundtable is part of the research project carried out by Dr. Fuk Ying Tse – Assistant Professor in Organisation, Work and Employment at the University of Birmingham, and Dr. Manuela Galetto – Associate Professor at Warwick Business School.

Breakfast kindly sponsored by TSA Riley.

The event will follow Chatham House rules. Discussions may be recorded and transcribed for the purpose of capturing insights only. Full recordings and transcripts will not be shared publicly.
