Family policies | O2's promise to build equality for women

As last week marked International Women’s Day (IWD) celebrations for the annual event will have come to a close, but for one employer, plans to support women even further are set to continue.

Telecommunications firm O2 informed HR Grapevine that its ‘commitment’ to build equality for women is part of the organisation’s DNA and is something that it will build on in a post-COVID world.

Speaking exclusively to HR Grapevine, Catherine Leaver, O2’s HR Director, said: “At O2 we have a strong heritage in this space, for many years we’ve strived to create equity for women and we are proud to have a culture of trust, flexible working and industry-leading family policies.

“This is something we will remain committed to as we look towards what the post-COVID world of work looks like.”
