TS04H: DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IN THE SURVEYING PROFESSIONCommission: TF on diversity/inclusion
Chair: Mr. Stephen Djaba, Chair TF on Diversity & Inclusion, Ghana
Generational sustainability is an important aspect of The Surveyor's Profession: Evolutionary Diversity task force. The task force aims to promote diversity and inclusion within the surveying profession, not only in terms of race, gender, and ethnicity, but also in terms of age and generational diversity, including Gen X, Y, and Z. This is important because it ensures that the surveying profession is sustainable and can continue to thrive in the long term.
To achieve this goal, the task force can focus on a number of initiatives, such as promoting mentorship and knowledge transfer between different generations of surveyors, from Gen X to Gen Y, and Z. They can also work to address issues related to age discrimination and ensure that older surveyors are not excluded from opportunities for professional development or advancement.
Additionally, the task force can work to attract Gen Y, Z and Gen Alpha to the profession by highlighting the exciting and innovative technologies and tools used in surveying and by emphasizing the importance of sustainability and environmental stewardship in the field. This can help to ensure that the surveying profession continues to evolve and adapt to changing needs and technologies, while also remaining diverse and inclusive across all generations.
