Arup is a Times Top 50 Employers for Women – Again!

For the fourth consecutive year, TPS Stakeholder member Arup has been named in “The Times Top 50 Employers for Women”, which formally recognises the firm as one of the top 50 companies in the UK that are leading the way in gender equality in the workplace.

They have explained to TPS that ‘providing an inclusive and supportive workplace is a key priority for Arup. It stimulates creativity and robust decision-making resulting in satisfied clients, profitable projects, enthusiastic staff and better strategic agility. We embrace diversity, in all its forms, as a means of broadening perspective and reflecting the communities where we work.

Equality applies to our own working practices and we strive to make sure that it applies to our projects too. Planning should focus on real-life solutions for inclusive communities, planning for all people, not just systems; and our inclusive workplace encourages our design and planning teams to actively consider equality in the built environment of our towns and cities’.
