Gender equality
We work particularly hard to create an environment
where women have the opportunity to build careers
in all communities and at all management levels of the
organisation, by ensuring there is a pipeline of women
coming up through the organisation.
Women are actively encouraged and supported as they
progress through the organisation. We aim to provide
flexible working arrangements, part-time working and job
sharing that fit our business model and work for our
people. In 2012, we established a women’s network which
encourages women across the Group to come together
to network and share experiences and challenges.
easyJet has also signed up to the “think, act, report”
campaign which promotes equal opportunities for women
in the workplace. The campaign provides a simple step-by-
step framework to help companies think about gender
equality in their workforces, particularly in relation to
recruitment, retention, promotion and pay.
The Company has two female Directors on its Board, one
being the Chief Executive. Following the appointment of
the two new Non-Executive Directors on 22 July and the
stepping down of the two outgoing Non-Executive
Directors on 1 October and 1 December, the Board will
retain its 20% female Board representation from last
year. This is a percentage which easyJet aspires to retain
in the future.
36% (four of 11) of easyJet’s Executive Management
Team are women, including our Chief Executive, Carolyn
McCall, along with the airline’s Strategy and Implementation
Director, one of two Commercial Directors and the
People Director.
14 out of 63 (22%) of the Senior Management Team are
female. The number of women in the Senior Management
Team is the same as last year although the team has
grown by two people.
Middle managers will provide the pipeline for future senior
managers and growing the number of women in this group
is an important part of our strategy to grow the number
of women in our Senior Management Team. Currently
around 30% (76 of 245) of positions in this group are held
by women, the same percentage as in 2013. 46% of our
overall workforce is female.
Based on employees as at 30 September 2014.
