Recruitment
“I would like to nominate the Wales & Western Resourcing team due to the tireless efforts they have made to implement changes to our organisations culture supporting D&I and during strike action and putting our passengers first.
The team have introduced many new innovative processes to support our D&I community so they can represent them in the best way possible. these include, Auditing with a D&I lens on and holding hiring managers to account when the results are poor, offering additional recruitment support to anyone with a protected characteristic, having a D&I rep on all interviews, making our D&I questions mandatory for all interview packs, asking our cultural fusion networks to sift CVs.
They have all been and volunteered during strike action at weekends in stations to support passengers.
They attend early engagement events to try and promote the organisation to the next generation of workforce all while doing there day job as resourcers. They really are the dream team!!“
“Thank you for a wonderful evening- words really cannot express how humbled I am to have won, ( yes, I cried all the way home.) The entertainment and meal were first class and the whole theme was amazing , wonderful to see so many people dressed up. As for my wonderful prize money, how will I spend it ? Two ways of spending it, this is how much patience I have , I purchased a new kitchen 11 years ago and its still in the boxes as my husband hasn't fitted it yet so hopefully this may spur him on......... Secondly I am a cartoonist and I help a lot of charities and now I have the funds to actually print some cartoons on to Christmas cards, which I can hopefully sell and raise some money for The Greyhound Trust ( My local one Perry Barr) and of course The Railway Children Fund too all being well. So thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart x Best wishes Simone”
