The AEC industry has a history of underrepresentation of women, but together, we're rewriting the story. In honor of Women's History Month, we are celebrating the living histories of Calibre women as they forge their own paths. Nearly 40% of Calibre employees are women, and we're passionate about supporting them. Calibre is working to flip the script and champion women in this industry. Join us this month as we share stories of the amazing women who are making a difference at Calibre and helping to rewrite the story of women in AEC.
In this post, Becky Barvinchak, Calibre's Administrative Assistant, shares her experience returning to work after several years.
Before starting at Calibre, I had been a stay-at-home mom for several years, and I was very nervous about returning to work. I had to learn a lot of new technology, and it was a big change to be back in the office five days a week.
Everyone at Calibre welcomed me with such kindness and support. It made a big transition a lot easier. I receive a lot of support every day, and I’m not afraid to ask for help or say I don’t understand something because one of my coworkers is always willing to jump in and teach me.
I am grateful to be part of a company that prioritizes families. Calibre's unique culture has allowed me to succeed at work and at home.
