<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:</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>
