21/04/2016

CMS has been named as a leader on workplace gender equality by being included in The Times Top 50 Employers for Women 2016. The list, published in partnership with Business in the Community, recognises employers who have demonstrated that gender equality is a key part of their business strategy, with consistent commitment to creating workplaces and cultures that are inclusive of women from entry level through to senior leadership.

Penelope Warne, The Senior Partner, Chairman of the UK Board and Head of Energy for CMS comments: “Diversity and Inclusion is central to our culture and strategy and we are delighted to be recognised as a Times Top Employer for Women. I am proud of the inclusive culture we have created at CMS which enables the careers of all our employees to thrive.”

She adds: “Embedding practices to encourage and support female careers is one of my main priorities. A gender-inclusive environment, with a diverse and engaged workforce, is the key to a successful business. Our approach to collaborative working, supported by innovative technology has further created an agile working environment for all.”

Kathryn Nawrockyi, Gender Equality Director AT Business in the Community, said: “Huge congratulations to CMS on being named in The Times Top 50 Employers for Women 2016 – the process was highly competitive so they should be extremely proud of their success. They have demonstrated a commitment to fundamentally changing workplace processes and cultures to make them inclusive to all, benefitting women and men at every level in their organisation, and I hope they inspire other employers to do the same.”

Emma Tucker, Deputy Editor of The Times, said: “The Times is pleased to celebrate Business in the Community's 25 years of campaigning for gender equality by publishing a special report to mark its 2016 list of the Top 50 Employers for Women. The supplement will highlight the advances these 50 organisations have made in increasing opportunities and creating working environments where women are free to reach their full potential and also explore those areas where more needs to be done.”
