SYSTRA reinforces ED&I mission with Women in Transport partnership renewal

The arrangement empowers colleagues through networking and professional development opportunities in the transport sector, across all modes and disciplines.

Part of Women in Transport’s mission is to encourage and enable more women to enter and thrive within the transport sector, which aligns strongly with SYSTRA’s equality, diversity and inclusion (ED&I) goals.

SYSTRA is dedicated to creating a diverse, inclusive workplace where colleagues can be the best personal and professional versions of themselves.

Making positive steps towards increasing the representation of women in the business and closing the gender pay gap, is part of this commitment. It is crucial to better understand experiences through active engagement with women throughout the company and across the industry.

Clare Francis, Senior HR Business Partner and ED&I Lead at SYSTRA, comments on the partnership renewal:

“Improving the representation and inclusion of women within SYSTRA, and our industry more widely, is a key focus of our Everyone Onboard strategy. 

“We are excited to continue building on our relationship with Women in Transport and their member network in order to share best practice, learn from others and support wider reaching change.” 

SYSTRA also has its own internal ED&I colleague engagement group, Everyone Onboard, which has a dedicated pillar focused on supporting an inclusive workplace for colleagues of all genders. 

“It’s vital that the women at SYSTRA, and across the industry, not only feel like there’s a place for them in this line of work, but that they can thrive – that their contributions are worthy and sincerely valued.”
