Gender
By empowering women and promoting gender equality, we can help communities, economies and businesses, including our own, to thrive.
We’ve set ourselves targets to make sure we’re taking action to make VodafoneThree a more inclusive place for women. And we want a strong pipeline of female talent to ensure it continues, as well as greater success and progression for all women across our company.
Working closely with our Women at Three network, we’re taking action to address gender inequalities in the workplace. This ranges from inclusive policies such as flexible working to providing menopause support, family leave, and development opportunities. It’s part of why we were listed in The Times Top 50 employers for gender equality in 2023.
We’ve worked closely with Ofcom and other telecommunication companies to form a Gender Equality pledge. Why? Because we believe it’s the right thing to tackle imbalances in the industry. We also have a dedicated STEM programme to support our local communities.
Disability
We’re proud to be a Disability Confident employer and are taking tangible steps to enhance our processes for attracting, recruiting, and developing individuals with disabilities or accessibility needs.
This involves close collaboration with our Accessibility at Three employee network, listening and learning from those with lived experiences, and reflecting on our past practices to ensure accessibility is a priority in our ways of working.
As part of our journey, we have rolled out Sign Language modules and offered neurodiversity awareness sessions for employees who would like to learn more.
Ethnicity
We’re committed to tackling racial inequality by increasing the representation of people from ethnically diverse heritages in leadership positions.
We’re proud to take action that amplifies voices from diverse heritages and sparks meaningful conversations. As part of this commitment, we have voluntarily shared our ethnicity pay gap since 2022 and are actively supporting our employee-led Ethnic and Cultural Diversity Network in educating our teams further. We’re also signatories of the Race at Work charter with our partners at Business in the Community, helping us raise the bar across the industry.
