Gender Balance at HS2

The Gender Balance Network is a staff network that promotes the development of a more inclusive culture at HS2 and provides a platform of support and encouragement for men and women across the organisation. The network has 168 members on our distribution list, 200 members on Yammer.


This year’s highlights include:

  • Five leadership workshops held with more  than 50 attendees
  • HS2 panel event held on International Women’s Day with more than 200 attendees
  • Successful participation in Women in Rail mentoring programme with 20 HS2 participants

The network explores issues and opportunities to improve our organisation by addressing a range of topics including personal development, family-friendly policies and events to promote HS2 as an employer to under-represented groups. This network will be further supported by our memberships of WISE and BiTC.
