While progress has been made, gender inequalities are still very prevalent in UK workplaces today, especially in times of economic disruption, such as the aftermath of the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis. To tackle this, Sage has focussed on gender as a key pillar of its diversity, equity and inclusion strategy. While the work is ongoing, the company has made the following strides to become a more gender-equal workplace.
The organiser of this list, Business in the Community (BITC), received more applications than ever before this year, with a significant number of organisations appearing for the first time. Applicants are assessed on the work they do to remove gender inequalities in the workplace, from flexible working to family friendly policies to pay, reward, and progression at work. All applicants submitted a case study alongside their application, evaluating their approach and impact in the field of gender equality.
"We have made significant progress in knocking down barriers for women in the workplace, and we are thrilled to be acknowledged for our efforts. However, we are aware that there is still more to do, and we are focused on areas like our gender pay gap, and ensuring more gender diversity in our leadership," Amy Lawson, Sage's Chief Corporate Affairs Officer and Executive Ambassador for Gender Equity. "Our goal is to build on this momentum to ensure Sage becomes a safe and supportive environment for all marginalized genders.’
Mary Macleod, Chief Executive at Business in the Community said: “We know that when women succeed, the UK succeeds, enabling our communities and planet to thrive. Sage is one of the companies leading the way in building a culture where women can reach their full potential by showing real commitment to addressing gender inequalities in the workplace.”
The name of the list, previously The Times Top 50 Employers for Women, has been updated this year to better reflect that addressing gender equality in the workplace requires achieving equality for all, and requires engagement from everyone.
