American Elevator Group (AEG), the largest group of independent elevator service providers in the U.S., released “RISE: The Untapped Potential of Women in the Elevator Industry,” on September 19. The white paper is the result of data and analysis from a 2022 survey of industry professionals conducted in partnership with ELEVATOR WORLD. Described as a “comprehensive, first-of-its-kind overview of women’s experiences in the elevator field,” the paper was presented at the National Association of Elevator Contractors convention this month in Louisville, Kentucky. Authored by AEG Senior Marketing and Communications Manager Åsa Christina Magnusson, the report includes personal stories from female leaders, recommendations for targeted outreach and recognition of the importance of diversity in the workplace. “It concludes that while the industry is facing a labor shortage in the U.S., women represent a significant untapped opportunity for recruitment and growth,” AEG stated.
