Royal Mail Embraces Gender Neutrality: Postpersons Wanted

Description

Royal Mail embraces inclusivity by rebranding postmen as postpersons, inviting everyone to join their ranks. This shift marks a departure from the gendered terms origins in the late 1800s, when the role was exclusively for men. Women have been part of the postal service since the 1870s, but faced segregation and tougher conditions. Todays openings offer competitive perks, including a strong pension, family benefits, and free stamps at Christmas.
