To put real action and support in place, we agreed that all our candidate short-lists for recruitment must include at least one male and one female or we’d go back to market. Making calls like this helps us reach our goal of workplace balance.
As well as gender pay equality and a safe workplace, women in leadership was one of the main things the Gender Tick looked at.
Getting the Gender Tick isn’t the end goal for us, it’s a milestone that recognises the importance of gender balance at Meridian.
It shows the hard work our teams have done in the past to get us worthy of being accredited, and it’s helping us set goals for the future.
