Women in energy

We're committed to being an inclusive employer and ensuring women are represented within the energy industry.

We recognise the part we have to play in ensuring our workforce is representative of the communities which we live and work in.

We want to attract and retain more women within our organisation, showcase the opportunities on offer and provide them with the necessary support for career progression and to grow their families. Learn more about all the great women who work at Electricity North West and the support we provide for women in energy.

Colleague Resource Groups

We have a number of colleague resource groups available to support women including menopause, women empowered, working parents and carers and LGBT+.

The groups are a safe space to share experiences and discuss ways of improving inclusion in the workplace and in our communities. Learn more about all the groups here. 

Work/life balance

We have a number of policies which support a better work/life balance for women. This includes:

  • Family friendly policies- 24 weeks full paid maternity leave, paid phased return to work, neonatal and fertility leave.
  • Flexible working 
  • Career break

Diversity and inclusion 

Our colleagues are our most important asset and our diversity and inclusion strategy sets out our commitment to deliver for them. Read it in full here.
