It has been one year since D/Gauge signed the Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Charter (the EDI Charter), an industry initiative jointly led by Women in Rail (WR) and the Railway Industry Association (RIA).
The EDI Charter reflects our commitment within the UK railway sector to work together to build a balanced and fair industry which champions equality, diversity, and inclusion at every level. An inclusive workforce is good for business. With it, it brings diversity of thought, innovation, a positive workforce culture, improved customer relationships, whilst at the same time supporting social mobility and increasing economic opportunity in all regions of the UK.
The object of the EDI Charter is to improve equality, diversity, and inclusion within the rail workforce and to make sure everyone working in our industry feels included and supported in their personal and professional development and growth. The scope of the EDI Charter is therefore not limited to increasing female representation within the UK rail sector but covers people of all backgrounds including (and by no means limited to) race, ethnicity, religion, gender, socio economic background, and any form of disability.
D/Gauge have been actively recruiting as we enter our expansion phase, growing the engineering and software teams. Equality and diversity will allow D/Gauge to have a representative team which mirrors modern Britain, and ensures our recruitment, onboarding and career progression and customer communications encapsulate our business ideals in our ways of working.
