AtkinsRéalis named one of The Times Top 50 Employers for Women
AtkinsRéalis has been recognised by experts for its efforts to work towards gender equality.
The Times Top 50 Employers for Women is the UK’s most highly profiled and well-established listing of employers striving for gender equality in the workplace. Run by the charity Business in the Community – The Prince’s Responsible Business Network – for more than a decade, the incredibly competitive process identifies companies which make gender equality part of their business strategy and are trying to bring it to life at all levels of the organisation.
Applicants are assessed on a range of areas, including their approach to recruitment, family friendly policies and how they have championed gender equality in the context of the pandemic.
AtkinsRéalis stood out in terms of its diverse recruitment processes; data monitoring and transparency; support for career progression; and its overarching strategy for improving the diversity of its business and ensuring gender equality.
Charlotte Woodworth, Gender Equality Director at Business in the Community, said: “We congratulate the many employers who have maintained their efforts towards gender equality at this time, often introducing innovative policies to support their workforce during this period. This year’s application process for The Times Top 50 Employers for Women was the most competitive one we have seen in five years. Employers like AtkinsRéalis haven’t forgotten women at work and they are committed to making gender inequality a thing of the past.”
