Women in the utilities sector: Exclusive research

Earlier in the year, Utility Week canvassed more than 100 people about women’s experiences of working in the sector. Here’s five of the key findings.

It’s a similar story when it comes to return to work policies.

Surprisingly, organisations are seemingly not that good at educational outreach.

Some companies have made frontline jobs more accessible to women, but there is work to do.
