Eurovia UK is proud to be working with the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) to continue to make, and strengthen the case for diversity and inclusion. Therefore we have signed the Charter to show our commitment to this initiative.
The CIHT has launched the Diversity and Inclusion Charter on National Women in Engineering Day, to help embed a change in culture in the highways and transportation industry.
By signing the Charter, we believe that a commitment to diversity and inclusion is essential and makes business sense as it helps to attract and retain the best talent, it enables us to understand and meet clients’ needs more effectively and so provide a better quality service.
In accordance with the Charter, as a business we will strive to achieve best practice in our recruitment, retention and career progression practices as employers, support the development of good diversity and inclusion practice by collecting and sharing examples of practical activities that contribute to progress with CIHT and other signatories, assign responsibility for meeting our Charter Commitments to a named, senior level individual, work together to develop and adopt future protocols and practice that support the implementation of the aims of this Charter, recognise, respect, capitalise and celebrate contributions from different people to strengthen team performance and display the CIHT diversity and inclusion logo to publically demonstrate our commitment to this agenda.
CIHT launched Routes to Diversity & Inclusions in October 2015. This was the first toolkit designed specifically for and with the Highways and Transportation sector to help employers recruit, retain and develop a diverse workforce. However, CIHT considers the toolkit to be just the first step towards improving the diversity and inclusion culture in highways and transportation to enable the industry to reap the proven business benefits of workplace diversity. By signing the CIHT’s Charter this is a positive next step towards that goal.
