Business in the Community (BITC), The King’s Responsible Business Network, has announced The Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality 2025. The Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality is the UK’s most well-established and highly profiled list of employers who are committed to taking action to ensure gender equality in the workplace.
CBRE, along with other applicants were examined on the policies and cultural interventions put in place to ensure gender equality, including addressing pay disparities, ensuring progression, offering flexible working and family friendly policies and tackling sexual harassment.
While many employers are working to ensure workplace gender equality, women are still disproportionately impacted during times of economic disruption, such as the aftermath of the pandemic and the rise in the cost of living, and some groups, women from Black, Asian, Mixed Race or other ethnically diverse backgrounds, for example, are worst affected. Businesses must address these risks and the slow pace of change, adopting proven measures to drive greater gender equity, taking action by:
- Embedding flexible working, proven to lead to a more inclusive working world
- Ensuring equitable support for parents and carers in the workplace, regardless of gender or who they provide care for
- Enhancing transparency around pay – including salary details on job adverts and being clear about how rewards are set
- Taking active, dedicated efforts to surface and address the ongoing issue of sexual harassment
- Ensuring an intersectional approach, collecting data and addressing the barriers faced by different groups of women in the workforce (i.e. women in low paid roles)
This recognition is a testament to the strides we have made over recent years. It reflects the dedication of our entire team to creating a more balanced and equitable workplace. We remain firmly committed to driving further progress and ensuring gender equality stays at the heart of our organisation’s values and actions.
The businesses that have made it into this year’s Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality demonstrates those that are holding fast to their values around equality. It is imperative for employers to eradicate gender inequality in the workplace, not only because it is the right thing to do, but it will also unlock economic benefits for businesses and ‘lift up’ the UK. While there is still much work to be done, the progress being made to ensure equal pay, career progression and offering enhanced flexible working and family friendly policies shows that we’re on the right path.
