Proud to be #TimesTop50

Royal Mail has once again been recognised as a top employer for women

Royal Mail has been named as a ‘Times Top 50 Employer for Women’ for the sixth consecutive year.

The Times Top 50 Employers for Women is the UK’s most highly profiled and well-established listing of employers leading the way on workplace gender equality.

Each year Business in The Community, part of the Prince’s Responsible Business Network, invites companies with a presence in the UK to apply by detailing what they are doing to work towards gender equality in their organisation.

The evaluation includes, but is not limited to, roles of senior leaders, actions to increase representation of women in senior positions, intersectionality, supporting parents and carers, bullying and harassment and the economic empowerment of women in supply chains and communities.

Head of diversity and inclusion, Andreyana Ivanova, said: ‘Achieving the accolade of a Times Top 50 Employer for Women for the sixth consecutive year is tribute to our ambition of creating a work environment that truly values the diversity of its workforce.

‘We are delighted to be recognised in this way and we will continue to strive towards creating a truly inclusive culture, where women are able to progress and flourish in their chosen careers.’

Chloe Chambraud, director of gender equality at Business in the Community said: ‘Congratulations to all of the organisations who have been named as Times Top 50 Employers for Women this year. Your relentless work to make your workplace more diverse and more inclusive deserves to be recognised and celebrated.

‘Historically companies focused on policies and processes to address the inequality and bias that employees face on a daily basis. But this is not enough. It is only by changing the culture and promoting positive behaviours from the top that employers will see real change, and we look forward to supporting them on this journey.’
