Exampling this in many ways, STM Group has special recruitment targets, working hard to creating equality of gender within the industry. Job advertisements are posted onto various women orientated Facebook pages, such as ‘Mumsnet’, with the aim to open opportunities to women within the industry.

Furthermore, STM Group also works hard behind the scenes, creating various internal opportunities to the females of the business, and ensuring they’re full understanding of the support that is offered to them.

In support of the Working Group, bi- weekly e-newsletters are sent out to all staff, both male and female, who have access to various resources, aimed at empowering and developing every individual within the business.

Alongside this, STM Group is a proud member of the Women’s Night Safety Charter, a project launched by the Mayor of London, designed to tackle violence against women, whilst making London a welcoming and safe environment. Likewise, STM is also a founding signatory of the EDI Charter by Women in Rail and Railway Industry Association, an initiative launched to champion equality, diversity, and inclusion throughout the UK railway industry.
