At Babcock, we are creating a safe and welcoming workspace, effectively connecting and engaging all our people to be a company that values diversity. A place where everyone can be themselves. And we’re taking action to create a workplace our people deserve.
We have evolved the way we conduct community outreach activities to encourage more youngsters to take up STEM subjects to help address diversity and disparity as well as improve social mobility.
We have set ourselves the target of increasing the number of women in our senior leadership team from 21% to 30% by March 2025. We are closing the gender gap across our organisation year-on-year. And that’s not just about ensuring equal work is rewarded with equal pay, or recruiting more women into STEM roles. It’s also about creating an environment with facilities and role models that inspire and support women, offering access to a wider range of flexible working options and empowering every individual to flourish and shape their own future as a leader or technical specialist within the business.
Our organisation now more accurately represents the communities and counties where we operate. We are fully behind the growth of employee networks, including, BAME, Pride and Multifaith.
