As part of our commitment to proactively improve equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) across GBRTT, we are very proud to be the 200th organisation in the rail industry to sign up to the joint Railway Industry Association/Women in Rail EDI Charter.
The Charter involves several key commitments, including to:
- Appoint a member of the senior leadership team as an EDI champion
- Provide opportunities for training and education of employees, support the progression of diverse individuals into senior roles to improve diverse representation at senior and executive level of the UK railway industry
- Make recruitment and progression processes accessible and attractive to all to attract retain and develop people of all backgrounds.
The announcement was made this morning by GBRTT's Head of Culture David Ollerhead, at a trailblazers' breakfast event organised by the Railway Industry Association.
Anit Chandarana, Lead Director at GBRTT said:
“EDI is one of the foundational principles for GBRTT so is core to the culture we are building within the organisation.
“We are committed to integrate and embed equality, diversity and inclusion into everything that we do within GBRTT and we look forward to our partnership with Women in Rail to progress this further.”
