Our people

“Our workforce is representative of our communities, and our people thrive with career goals in an inclusive environment.”

Our people foster an inclusive culture and thrive within a workplace that represents the diversity within the communities we serve. Our culture creates safe spaces to have open and challenging conversations across important issues. 

Our objectives include promoting social mobility, which means we will support people from economically disadvantage backgrounds to seek and grasp opportunities within the industry through grassroots engagement.

Opportunities to forge a career within rail will be advertised and supported via engagement with local community groups and educational establishments. We will also offer programmes that support our employees to develop their careers, enabling our people to reach their full potential, whilst also developing and retaining talent within TPE.

Through our diversity and inclusion strategy we will drive improvements to support rail as a career of choice for people entering the job market and ensure our workforce becomes – and remains – representative of the diversity of communities we serve.

Performance is measured through our Annual Diversity Report.
