Update: 2025-04-25
Description
The rail industry faces challenges like an aging workforce and gaps in understanding diversity, particularly for disabled and LGBT+ employees. EDI is essential for a safer, more reliable railway, better service delivery, and attracting diverse talent. The Rail Industry Association and Women in Rail launched the EDI Charter to promote diversity and gender balance, with over 160 companies participating. Network Rail's Everyone Belongs strategy aims to create an inclusive environment and attract top talent through targeted recruitment and mixed interview panels. But what else can be done to make the industry attractive and inclusive? Would continuous investment programs retain skills, grow expertise, and create sustainable jobs? Listen to this podcast to understand the challenges and what the future holds.
