<h4>Diversity and Inclusion</h4>
<p>Porterbrook is a fully diverse and inclusive employer. The company is
 registered as a Disability Confident employer and holds Living Wage 
Accreditation. Our diversity policy is reviewed regularly in order to 
ensure fair and equal treatment for all existing and potential staff.</p>
<p>Women are well represented across every level of the organisational 
structure. Many of our female colleagues are role models within the rail
 industry. </p>
<p>We are immensely proud that the last year has seen an increase in the
 percentage of women working at Porterbrook rise to a third. This 
compares to an industry average of 16% across rail (source: Women in 
Rail 2016). We are striving to improve on this still further by:<br></p>
<ul><li>Actively promoting flexible working, which is in place at every level of the organisation including the Executive Team.</li><li>Encouraging remote working to offer further flexibility for all staff, but particularly those with caring responsibilities.</li><li>Engaging
 with cross industry initiatives to attract more diversity into the rail
 industry particularly among women, young people and under-represented 
communities.</li></ul><p><strong><br></strong></p>
