RSSB
The Big Rail Diversity Challenge
Through research, analysis and insight, RSSB supports our members and stakeholders to deliver a safer, more efficient and sustainable rail system.
Our vision is to be a centre of excellence, valued by its members and stakeholders as an essential contributor to their success.
Our independent evidence based approach is built on strong technical capability, and the enabling of collaborative industry engagement for the benefit of the whole rail system.
Why is RSSB supporting the Women in Rail, Big Rail Diversity Challenge?
For a number of years, we have been engaged with the Women in Rail mentoring scheme as part of our wider strategy to support gender diversity, so when we were offered the opportunity to take part we couldn't refuse.
The essential ethos of RSSB is to encourage and facilitate collaboration between rail companies of all types, therefore we feel this event provides a great opportunity for cross-industry teams to network, socialise and celebrate the railways embracing the diversity agenda.
The chance of entering a team has also enabled us to further raise the profile of diversity internally, and has presented us with our own challenge of mobilising a mixed gender team of voluntary champions. In addition, this will help us build on our own diversity agenda plans.
Bring on the challenge!
