5 Of The Best UK Companies For Women To Work For It is no secret that in the UK the odds are still stacked against women when it comes to equal opportunity in the work place. Only 22% of senior leadership roles are held by women and the government’s 2017 regulation requiring companies with more than 250 employees to submit their gender pay gap data revealed an even bigger disparity.

Diversity Project One of the aims of the Diversity Project is to support companies that wish to employ career returners as well as helping individuals who have taken an extended career break return to the workplace. Career breaks can be taken for a number of reasons, to look after a young family, provide elderly care, for health reasons, travel, volunteering, study or just time out. We recognise that the journey back to work can be daunting. Increasingly, a number of our investment firms offer exciting and fulfilling opportunities for returning professionals. These opportunities can take a number of guises from formal “Returnship” programmes to supported hiring directly into full-time roles. Diversity Project: Cross-Company Returner Programme
