International Women’s Day celebrated across Bibby Line Group!

Bibby Line Group // 17th April 2020


Colleagues from across the Group came together to celebrate own leading ladies, and champion the advancement of women’s rights and gender equality, with this year’s theme being Each for Equal.

Although International Women’s Day fell on Sunday 8th March, festivities were centred on the 9th March so everyone could join in whilst at work.

Walker House colleagues took part in a day of activity including wearing purple for charity and an IWD session and fun e-quiz hosted by Jonathan Lewis, our Main Board Director sponsor of Inclusion and Diversity.

The day was the first celebration of the new I&D Group set up in 2019, which so far has achieved:

    • A nominated director with board responsibility for I&D
    • A statement of intent for each business and Group and policies which underpin this
    • Processes which include ‘blind’ applications and requirement to have balanced shortlist of candidates for each role
    • Agreed KPIs for a baseline against which to measure progress from December 2019. 
    • A calendar of events which will be marked in each business and across the Group in 2020

Costcutter’s Synergy Team organised lots of activities including inviting colleagues for a coffee, cake and a chat, and putting Thank You cards on female colleagues desks.

 

Bibby Financial Services celebrated their women through a series of personal blog posts and day of celebration, including purple cup cakes!

Garic asked their colleagues to strike the #EachforEqual pose and posted quick Q&As with their leading ladies on social media.
