This unprecedented move was taken in order to provide the industry with hard facts so that it can take the most effective action to improve the workplace environment.<\/p>\n<p>Following analysis of the survey results, which brought to light that one person in 10 had been a victim of discrimination, intimidation, or harassment in the workplace, all of the industry\u2019s partners agreed to implement concrete actions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A major communication campaign will be deployed to ensure a better understanding of what constitutes cases of discrimination, intimidation, and harassment and to encourage reporting of such incidents.<\/li>\n<li>The services offered by the CCQ to victims in these situations will be enhanced, notably the Ligne Info-ressources discrimination, intimidation, harc\u00e8lement phone line.<\/li>\n<li>An action plan to fight against discrimination, intimidation, and harassment will be adopted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cOur industry has taken a courageous step forward by painting an accurate and realistic picture of the workplace environment on construction sites,\u201d noted Audrey Murray, CEO of the CCQ. \u201cWe are all actively investigating the issue and searching for solutions. The conclusions of the survey have provided us with valuable clues about what actions to take to end these unacceptable situations. The construction sector will need 17,000 new workers per year until 2028 to meet the demand. We have everything to gain by striving to improve the workplace environment and retain more workers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the survey<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In spring 2023, L\u00e9ger conducted a major survey among more than 10,700 employees and 2,400 employers in the construction industry.
