If we look at the statistics, we have around 89% of the workforce being male and only 11% being female. We need diversity and inclusion to improve business returns, for the moral case, and to bring greater ideas and innovation to our workforce. It\u2019s also important to ensure everyone in our workforce feels they belong&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8222;We have over 39 nationalities represented in Mercury and we have offices across Europe. There are areas in D&amp;I that the construction industry is behind on.
