Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) programs are growing in their impact and importance across the entire AEC industry. When implemented correctly, DEIB improves profits, worker productivity and satisfaction, collaboration across business units, and makes companies more attractive to new and upcoming talent.  

We had the chance to sit down with Randi Lucas, former Project Manager at CNY Group (now with Cord Meyer Development Company), and Reana Maglis, BIM VDC Manager at Hansen Yuncken, during Autodesk University to explore how you can create a high-impact, successful DEIB program in your organization. 

In this episode, we explore: 

• Why DEIB Matters in Construction 
• How Diversity in multiple categories improves creative thinking and problem solving 
• A closer look at how Hansen Yuncken and CNY Group are approaching DEIB 
• Current “gaps” in DEIB across the industry 
• Where to start when building a DEIB program 
• How to scale your DEIB program
