Female Engineer Pulling Fibre Cable

The UK telecoms regulator, Ofcom, has today joined forces with BT, Sky Broadband, TalkTalk, Openreach, Three UK, Virgin Media O2 and Vodafone to agree a new pledge that commits them all to help get more women into senior technology positions – across a historically male-dominated sector.

Each of the organisations has agreed to take action to increase senior representation of women in technology-based roles over the next 3 years, as well as have more women in their workforces more generally.

The organisations will also focus on both attracting and retaining more women, while creating more inclusive working environments. They will come together to share good practice, as well as publishing information on the impact of their work to achieve better representation for women – including performance against their organisation’s own diversity and inclusion strategies.

Summary of the Pledges

➤ We are committed to increasing the senior representation of women in technology-based roles in the telecoms sector over the next three years; and to increase the overall representation of women in our sector.

➤ We will invest our efforts in attracting and retaining women in our organisations, creating inclusive environments for them to excel and be their best.

➤ As an industry we will come together annually to share good practice and showcase, to the outside world, our talented women in technology in the telecoms sector.

➤ We will publish information on the impact our initiatives have made on our collective ambitions as well as against the diversity and inclusion strategies of our respective organisations. We aim to publish information on our initiatives, so we may inspire others in the sector.
