Since 2018, we have reduced our gender pay gap by 2.5%. We are already on the journey to close the gap, and we will continue to focus on a number of key areas, including:
Working with a broad range of organisations, such as Women in Technology, Stonewall and the trade unions to attract a more diverse workforce.
Attracting and developing the best female talent by introducing unconscious bias training and having more gender balanced shortlists for senior positions.
Enhancing maternity and shared parental leave policy, promoting flexible working opportunities and encouraging appropriate career progression and development opportunities.
Promoting female recruitment specifically into engineering, train driving and IS roles in partnership with the Rail Delivery Group, Women in Rail, Women in Tech and other external organisations and our trade union colleagues.
Continue to ensure our pay structure remains a clear, consistent, fair and simple approach to remuneration for all our employees.
