We don’t just say. We do.

Atkins is a company that truly values the different perspectives that all of our people bring. It’s therefore of great importance to us to invest in our female employees so they can excel at all career stages.

As a large architectural practice working with many construction and design partners, we understand the barriers women face in what has historically been a male-dominated environment.

But, we don’t just say. We do. Announced as one of the ‘Top 50 Employers for Women’ by The Times in 2021, tangible improvements to achieve gender balance are ongoing, with the aim to create a space to share best practice, new ideas and voice concerns.

This includes Empower, an award-winning staff network encouraging a gender-balanced, inclusive workplace where all employees help to drive positive change and increase female representation.

Being part of the W Programme is our opportunity to share everything we’ve learned and to drive forward equality not just for women in architecture, but for all.
