Gender equality
As a fast-growing business, we have an opportunity to develop a new and exceptionally talented team from the ground up. Part of this is about ensuring the people within this team reflect the diversity of the communities our networks are designed and built to serve.
Attracting, retaining and developing the skills and capabilities of women in roles throughout our organisation is especially important, and we’re proud to have made tremendous progress already.
This report details our April 2020 to April 2021 results along with details about how we’re working to ensure gender equality in a working environment where everyone is valued.
For the second year in a row, CityFibre has secured a place in the Times Top 50 Employers for Women. This means we’ve been assessed by experts using criteria such as our approach to recruitment, availability of family friendly policies and actions we’ve taken to champion and maintain gender equality.
CityFibre has been endorsed by Work180 as a great place for all those who identify as women to work. This means we’ve demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, raising workplace standards, and showing that we have strong policies in place to support their particular needs throughout their careers.
As one of over 1,700 UK employers who’ve signed the Menopause Workplace Pledge, we’ve committed to ensuring CityFibre is a supportive and compassionate place for women going through the menopause. It’s about recognising needs, providing confidential support and ensuring no woman feels alone or poorly understood in the workplace.
