Prioritising employee wellbeing and inclusivity is now a core differentiator for top employers especially in the construction industry, where workforce health impacts retention, productivity, and satisfaction. At Syrona Health, we’re proud to champion forward-thinking construction companies like Structure Tone whose reproductive health benefits are unparalleled. Below are six construction leaders known for their innovative approach.

2. Willmott Dixon

Willmott Dixon is a leader in period dignity, ensuring all sites and offices have accessible, hygienic female facilities, free emergency period products, regular cleaning, and support for social enterprises like Hey Girls. Their sustained focus on gender equality has earned them recognition in the Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality.

3. Skanska UK

Skanska UK has introduced significant family-friendly benefits: enhanced maternity and adoption leave (26 weeks’ fully paid), increased paternity leave (eight weeks), paid dependent leave, and dedicated support for adoptive and LGBTQ+ parents. They emphasise flexibility and continuous feedback-driven improvement in care policies.

4. Balfour Beatty (UK)

Balfour Beatty goes beyond standard NHS support by offering private medical cover, support for important life events, and a diverse, inclusive benefits framework. Resources and digital tools help staff including those on remote sites access fertility, mental health, and menopause support, reflecting their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

5. BAM Nuttall

BAM Nuttall runs women’s health weeks covering menopause, female cancers, and endometriosis, encouraging open, senior-led discussions and promoting inclusive HR policies. These initiatives directly address the needs of female staff, such as flexible leave for treatments and new menopause policies, helping build empathy and safety at work.

6. Gilbane Building Company

Gilbane UK puts reproductive and mental health at the core of its package offering IVF cycles, adoption and surrogacy assistance, gender-inclusive benefits, and 24/7 virtual support for team members on site or travelling.

Why UK Construction Must Prioritise Reproductive Health Benefits

• Recruitment & Retention: With women making up only a small fraction of the UK construction workforce, inclusive health benefits are key to closing the gender gap and attracting diverse talent.
• Equity in Access: Tech-enabled solutions bridge long NHS waits, delivering rapid, confidential care—particularly valuable for shift workers and those at remote sites.
• Boosted Productivity: Supporting employees through fertility, menopause, and family-building reduces absenteeism and improves loyalty. UK research shows 60% of employees have considered switching jobs for better family benefits.
