Trainline

Ongoing investment in our Diversity Networks, made up of representatives from across the business – spanning all levels of seniority and all functions - who are focused on making Trainline an even more diverse and inclusive place to work. The Diversity Networks focus on many areas of diversity, including gender equality, ethnic minorities, differently-abled and LGBTQ+

• Ensuring that female candidates are interviewed for leadership roles. We achieved 50:50 gender-balanced shortlists for all Executive hiring

• Significant investment in our family-friendly policies

• Launched our first ever Apprenticeship programme

• Ongoing focus on our mentoring programme which gives every mid and senior-level woman and man the opportunity to partner with an executive team mentor who can advise, champion, and support them in their roles and career

• Specialised digital learning covering inclusive hiring practices and focusing on ‘inclusive’ consciousness

• Many of the new female team members we’ve welcomed over the last year have filled roles outside of our technology and data teams and within other functions at Trainline. Their careers at Trainline will grow as we invest in their development and we’re excited to see the great things they will achieve.

We know that we have a responsibility to continue to support women in the wider tech industry and a role to play in ensuring females of all ages and backgrounds have access to a career in tech.  For this reason, we support a number of charitable organisations, including:

• Future Frontiers a charity that equips students from disadvantaged backgrounds with the information and mindset to achieve their career aspirations, pairing over 200 secondary school students with Trainline employees in our London and Edinburgh offices

• Ada Tech School in France is a computer science school dedicated to helping more women learn to code through training courses that are designed to tackle gender and cultural biases of technology. As well as supporting the school by providing mentors and insight into working in tech, we have welcomed a full-time apprentice from the school to work in our Paris office

• Multiverse is a mission-driven tech start-up committed to creating a diverse group of future leaders through high-quality apprenticeship programmes that combine work, training, and community.
