Winning for Women at British Airways

British Airways was joint winner of the 2007 Opportunity Now Female FTSE 100 Award for the number of women on its board. 

'Diversity is part and parcel of our policies and practices making it an integral part of business, rather than an after thought. Central to our proactive and strategic approach are diversity champions across the business and listening to the views of our staff.  Gender equality is well established at British Airways. Women represent 27 per cent of our senior managers and 36 per cent of middle managers. We're also proud of our maternity return rate of 92 per cent and that a quarter of our employees work part time.The diversity on our Board also contributes towards greater innovative and flexible thinking."
