Liberty IT is a Best Workplace for Women

Liberty IT has been recognised as one of the Best Workplaces for Women 2022.

Liberty IT has been recognised as one of the ‘Best Workplaces for Women 2022’ by Great Place to Work UK for the second consecutive year.

We've been placed number 14 in a list of 61 large organisations. The list commends organisations for creating fair access and advancement for all, fostering a sense of value and empowerment in employees and showcasing how they are putting these principles into practice.

The results are based on what women within Liberty IT have anonymously reported to Great Place to Work UK about their workplace experience and how well represented they are throughout the workforce and leadership.

At Liberty IT, our commitment to women in the workplace has always been steadfast. However, the accolade results from several initiatives across Liberty IT, including two new support programmes - Female Mentoring Circles and a Buddy Scheme. Launched by our Women in Tech employee resource group in response to employee feedback, these initiatives help to ensure female employees can access and grow their own internal networks and avail of supports they might need at different stages of their career.

Last year, we also introduced The Power in Me workshops aimed at empowering women on their career journey through addressing perceived barriers to advancement. And to close, we've also launched our Family Leave Toolkit which supports new parents prepare for leave, during leave and ensuring a smooth return to the workplace after leave.

We are committed to making Liberty IT a best workplace for everyone – we are also a Great Place to Work large organisation in the UK and a Best Workplace in Ireland and have recently placed 5^_th in Best Workplaces in Tech.

 

“We are delighted to have once again been named as one of the best workplaces for women. At Liberty IT, we are taking major steps in leading the way when it comes to being an organisation that firmly believes in equality and equity for all of our employees.

We have invested heavily in this area in recent years and our employees play a huge role in helping us to create and implement the initiatives so this accolade is recognition for our people, our leaders and our Women in Tech employee resource group who have devoted their time to help create a positive working environment that provides equitable opportunities for all.”

Tony Marron, Managing Director

 

“As an organisation, we are really proud to receive continuous recognition for being an employer committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. This is the second year we have been included in the list of ‘Best Workplaces for Women’ and whilst it is a fantastic achievement, it also helps remind us of the importance in the work we are doing to help bridge the gap of the under-representation of the number of females working in tech.

We are confident that the positive initiatives we have introduced at Liberty IT to date, and the ones we are working on to build on this in the months ahead, will play a vital role in helping to address this imbalance and also encourage more young women to pursue employment in this innovative industry and give women already working in tech the confidence and tools to further their career.”
