Barclay Jones: IT Strategy and Virtual IT Director services signs the UKRC Charter; demonstrating their commitment to implement positive cultural change to increase the participation of women in Science, Engineering and Technology.
We have signed the UKRC Charter; demonstrating their commitment to implement positive cultural change to increase the participation of women in Science, Engineering and Technology.
Over 70% of women with qualifications in science, engineering and technology are not working in Science, engineering and technology related industries. Barclay Jones is committed to helping address this issue by actively supporting the aim of increasing the participation, at all levels, of women in SET:
- Developing and communicating the business case for gender equality within their business or organisation, their supply chain and their wider networks.
- Promoting and showcasing the business or organisation’s approach and examples of best practice at relevant events and forums.
- Developing clearly defined strategies and implementing practices which encourage women to enter and progress in, or return to, SET careers.
Charter signatories are encouraged to demonstrate progress in their business or organisation toward the aim of increasing the participation and progression of women in SET. They can do this in a number of ways, such as taking part in benchmarking surveys; assessing their business or organisation culture using the UKRC Culture Analysis Tool; applying for a UKRC SET Fair Standard; taking positive steps to increase the recruitment and retention of women in SET, including placements and support for returners; setting up and running a mentoring or networking scheme for women; training staff in gender equality.
