Women's Network at Ofgem

Ofgem's Women's Network aims to champion gender equality within our workplace and across the energy sector.

As a network, we focus on five objectives:

• Equal remuneration of staff regardless of gender.
• An effective and supportive parental leave process.
• Equal representation of male and female staff on panels at internal and external events.
• Promote a focus on gender equality amongst the bodies that Ofgem regulates.
• Make the monitoring and evaluation of diversity at Ofgem easier and more robust.

We have so far worked to meet these objectives by:

• Running a buddy scheme for new parents
• Co-hosting intersectional events on the experiences of trans colleagues in the workplace
• Working with our human resources teams to run pilot domestic abuse training for line managers
• Making a public pledge with POWERful Women to work towards achieving 50% female representation at all grades at Ofgem by 2025, with at least 9% of staff at each grade being women from an ethnic minority
