Royal Air Force 'winning for women'

The Royal Air Force has been recognised as leading the way on the inclusion and progress of women in the workplace. 

At the Opportunity Now Excellence in Practice Awards yesterday, 3 April, the RAF took the ‘Inspiring the Workforce of the Future’ prize. Opportunity Now is the workplace gender campaign from Business in the Community.

The awards recognise public and private sector organisations that have put gender at the heart of their business and are committed to creating inclusive workplaces for women at all levels.

Alongside their win, the RAF has also been named as one of The Times’ Top 50 Employers for Women 2014, which lists the organisations that are leading on workplace gender equality.
