What Our Members Say
Our relationship with WISE has grown significantly since we became corporate members in August 2015 and our business is responding positively to our work on gender diversity following the implementation of the WISE Ten Steps model. We are acknowledging changes in our culture following developments of several initiatives including unconscious bias training and our Returners to Work programme”
“At GRAHAM, to build resilience in the business in terms of skills capacity, we looked to create a more diverse workforce, we started with Gender Diversity – and became signatories of the WISE Ten Steps Framework. The WISE Ten Steps is an easy to use, self-assessment tool which will help change the gender diversity of your business – assuming you act on its findings! GRAHAM have been using the WISE Ten Steps approach for nearly 5 years and can demonstrate year on year improvement. This is a marathon, not a sprint – a commitment to change and the reward is a better business!”
CGL is proud to be a member of WISE and one of the initial signatories to the ’10 steps’ initiative. Since it’s early days, CGL has consistently maintained a gender balance close to 50/50 for over 20 years. The senior directors provided drive and commitment from the top to establish a culture where women were able to thrive. This near parity in gender is almost unique amongst engineering consultancies. The 10 steps metric has enabled CGL to further assess and measure how it has achieved this and where it can focus efforts on continuing to improve moving forward, to attract, retain and develop the best available talent. CGL would recommend the 10 Steps metric as a flexible yet powerful tool that will benefit any company looking to increase EDI within their business.
As the UK’s largest digital bank, we commit to be leaders in gender equality, recognising that diverse teams perform better, making more balanced decisions. Being part of a forward-thinking network of organisations that are proactively taking steps to increase the number of women in STEM will help us achieve and sustain this.
“Science and engineering is essential to our work at PA – from pioneering projects building medical devices through to using AI to accelerate energy transition. Our partnership with WISE is helping us attract the best, most diverse STEM talent; ensuring we continue to deliver the most ingenious solutions for our clients.”
