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. These employers make gender equality part of their business strategy at all levels and are sought out by people looking for their first job and looking to move roles later in their career.
Each year Business in the Community 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 employers who made it onto the list were selected by gender equality experts at Business in the Community – this list is unranked and listed in alphabetical order.
The assessment process focusses on transparency, the causes behind gaps, what companies are doing to address these structural issues and the impact of their actions. 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 what they are doing to promote gender equality outside their organisation.
