Insights UK: We made The Times Top 50 for Gender Equality!
Fantastic news: AtkinsRéalis has been named one of The Times' Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality in 2024! This prestigious honor shows how dedicated everyone at our organization is to promoting gender equality, marking us as a leader in driving progressive change within the industry.
Today, we want to celebrate our collective commitment to gender equality and highlight the significant impact deliberate and thoughtful strategies can have on creating a balanced and inclusive workplace.
"AtkinsRéalis has taken gender equality seriously, making it part of our business strategy with our #DifferentMakesADifference program. Our commitment focuses on creating real opportunities and removing obstacles for absolutely everyone."
Innovations that increase female representation
We offer flexible working policies that help all our employees—parents and carers included—balance their personal lives with their careers. This means they can achieve professionally without sacrificing their home life. We also actively support women's career advancement through mentoring, training, and leadership opportunities, aiming to increase the number of women in senior roles.
Supporting women through parenthood
Building on our commitment, Empower has worked closely with HR to create transformative policies such as enhanced parental leave for both parents during the first 12 months and our industry-first Parental Buddy Scheme, setting new and leading industry standards in supporting our diverse workforce.
Integrity is being a menopause-friendly workplace
In addition, our Menopause at Work initiative provides specific support for women facing the challenges of this mid-life milestone. By fostering an understanding environment and offering targeted support, we help ensure menopause does not derail career progress, facilitating a smoother transition through this life phase and keeping women on track for senior leadership roles.
"Did you know that only 19% of all UK university engineering graduates are women? AtkinsRéalis is committed to changing this by encouraging more women to enter engineering."
Empowering girls to transform our industry
We're addressing the early decline in STEM interest among girls between 11 and 16. Colleagues across the organization have pulled together to strategically embed ED&I into our Environmental, Social, and Governance framework. Our initiatives actively promote STEM careers to underrepresented groups. We're building meaningful relationships with schools, from getting STEM volunteers to engage with classes to placing STEM Governors in marginalized schools, empowering girls, and nurturing faster industry-wide change.
Career development: Engineering Better for women
The organization supports women's career advancement through targeted training programs, mentoring, and clear pathways to leadership roles. Our development programs, such as the Inspire Women's Development Program, are designed to boost confidence, enhance skills, and prepare women for senior positions within the company.
Impact: we're promoting female leaders
The results of these efforts are clear. More women are moving into leadership positions, showing that our approach is working. These changes reflect a shift in our company culture towards being more inclusive so everyone can reach their potential.
In a 2023 internal survey, 90% of our staff felt valued and included for their diversity, outperforming the professional services benchmark of 75%.
Thriving together in a culture of care
We appreciate how much the culture here emphasizes ED&I, creating a supportive environment where every employee can thrive. This ethos encourages personal and professional growth, supports wellbeing at work, and ensures we can all have our voices heard and valued. At AtkinsRéalis, we believe that equality and inclusion for a diverse workforce drive innovation and make us stronger and more agile as an organization.
