Over recent years, we have made significant strides in improving gender diversity within our workforce. Since 2022, the percentage of female employees has increased from 38%, reaching 45.83% of our total workforce. This growth reflects an ongoing commitment to fostering an inclusive and balanced workplace. Through inclusive policies and a culture that supports gender equity, we continue to make progress in building and maintaining a more diverse, dynamic team.
gcp are a proud signatory for Women in Business Charter Bristol and have been since 2019. This charter provides an opportunity for goal setting, accountability and reflection enabling us to "embrace diversity, increase representation and empower women to thrive in their careers".
In recent review of our charter goals, we highlighted the need for unconscious bias training and an update to our Employee Handbook, both of which are now complete. We have added Gender Pay Gap analysis to our business KPIs, which are reviewed annually with trends tracked and monitored. In 2025, we will support opportunities for those in our team who identify as women to feedback what support, training, processes and initiatives would most interest and benefit them at this current time, including mentoring.
Focus days are important, but equal emphasis must be placed on the work we are doing on the other days of the year. International Women’s Day is necessary to remind us that our journey is not yet complete.
