“Real change doesn’t happen by chance. It happens when we take bold, deliberate action. This #InternationalWomensDay, we’re embracing #AccelerateAction—pushing harder and going further to create a more inclusive and equitable workplace at ForHousing.
From tackling the gender pay gap to championing inclusive recruitment and strengthening our Inclusion Networks, we’re taking meaningful steps to break down barriers and ensure everyone can thrive.
Here’s how we’re accelerating change:
Driving inclusive recruitment – Reducing gendered language in job descriptions, embedding fairness in hiring, and implementing positive action schemes, doubling interview success rates for eligible candidates.
Supporting career progression – Enhancing pay transparency, developing clear progression routes, and hosting initiatives like our ‘Pathways to Grow’ job fair.
Empowering personal growth – Expanding allyship initiatives, offering mentoring programmes, and collaborating with sector partners to provide more opportunities.
Using data to drive change – Gathering insights to shape policies that support wellbeing, retention, and gender equality.
While we’ve made real progress, we know there’s always more to do. By listening, learning, and acting, we’ll continue building a workplace where everyone—regardless of gender, ethnicity, or background—can succeed.”
