Champion of progress

The second issue of W-mag has started landing at homes.

In the latest issue of our quarterly women’s magazine, we take a look at how our people are being recognised for the individual impact they are having on improving diversity.

For the fifth consecutive year, Royal Mail is one of The Times’ Top 50 Employers for Women. We have also been ranked with the highest combined gender diversity and social impact score within our industry by FTSE Russell, the global index provider.

National distribution director, Wayne Jay, won the Male Agent of Change Award at the 2018 Freight Transport Association (FTA) Everywoman in Transport & Logistics Awards.

Wayne was joined by two other colleagues in Logistics as finalists at the awards, which celebrate the exceptional women transforming transport and logistics in the UK. Debbie Rivers, regional fleet maintenance manager, made the shortlist for the Industry Champion Award and Lorna McAtear, fleet supply manager, was a finalist for the Supply Chain Award.

Also in the issue:

• Menopause guidance – supporting women at work through the menopause
• Altogether different – our diversity networks and how to get the most out of them
• Unsung heroes – Chairman’s Awards for Excellence nominations are open until 13 July.
