Equity, diversity and inclusion

We’re continuing to build a more diverse and inclusive organisation representative of the passengers we serve

We are becoming a company that is on the side of passengers and freight users.  To do this it is essential we become a more open, diverse and inclusive organisation, harnessing the skills and expertise of all our people and attracting the best talent to help us have a safe, accessible railway for everyone.

Rail has an exciting future. Our industry is growing and, as thegreenest form of mass public transport, our people will play a critical role in a future decarbonised society.

Our EDI strategy is one part of signalling how we’ll bring colleagues on that future journey. Showcasing the steps we’ll take to empower everyone to reach their full potential as we collectively work to make a simpler, better and greener railway for Britain.

We will continue to provide an environment that helps everyone to be the best that they can be.  The differences between us are what add depth, strength and creativity to our work, allowing individuals and teams to harness their talent and capabilities and help improve our railway.

We aspire to make the best use of our people’s talent and capabilities and to provide real opportunities for their professional development. 

There is more to do – but the success of our work on diversity and inclusion, and the excitement of being part of the biggest transformation of Britain’s rail industry in history, are starting to make Network Rail an employer of choice.
