The awards, which took place last month, brought together industry leaders, Government and representatives of the armed forces to celebrate the incredible women who work across defence in various roles and highlighted progress being made in equity, diversity and inclusion within the sector.
The Bristol Gender Diversity Network (GDN) and Inclusion Champions were nominated for and won the ‘Inclusive Teamwork’ award for work reinvigorating the network after the COVID pandemic and for engaging Inclusion Champions and leadership from across the business.
This work continues to be crucial to the attraction and retention of women into Rolls-Royce, ensuring the female workforce experience is an inclusive and supportive environment.
The GDN and Inclusion Champions have recently held the third chapter in the Female Leader Series. The event is designed to ‘break down barriers and build careers’ through professional development workshops and, so far, has brought together over 80 women from across the business.
