PROMOTING GENDER EQUALITY IN CAREERS

We value diversity and we recognise that different people bring different perspectives, ideas, knowledge and culture, and that this difference brings great strength.

When we analyse the composition of our workforce we note that women are present in almost all of our business areas, but usually not in the numbers we would like, particularly in the most senior positions. We are encouraging a correction of this imbalance by focusing on skills and taking lawful positive action to promote gender equality. Read short biographies on just some of our female employees here. Our positive action initiatives are not just words; they are truly designed to enable women to reach senior executive positions. ‘Positive action’ means the steps that an employer can take to encourage people from groups with different needs or with a past track record of disadvantage or low participation to apply for jobs. An article from Barack Obama vividly explains the ideals held at Wilsons which you can read here.

We implement various methods and initiatives to foster minimising disadvantage and encouraging participation, including:

• Expecting to hire women in proportion to their numbers in the graduating classes of partner schools and universities;
• Involving all stakeholders in our efforts, particularly HR teams and managers;
• Expecting to promote the same percentage of women and men with equivalent qualifications, aptitudes and experience.
• Offering training to help women to more effectively manage their careers. Our target is 25% women employed by the end of 2017.

These methods and initiatives are not ‘positive discrimination’ or ‘affirmative action’ which equality law does not allow.

We have many colleagues who have been working with us for more than 20 years. One just retired after 40 years was himself a second generation, following his father before him! The Wilson Women, currently running the company are 4^th generation.

If you are genuinely interested in developing a long term career then Wilsons is the place for you!
