A FUN EVENT WITH A SERIOUS MESSAGE

The Big Rail Diversity Challenge was created to highlight the benefits of gender-balance and diversity in the UK rail industry.

Launched in 2016 by Women in Rail in collaboration with multi-media marketing specialists Nimble Media Ltd, this flagship event helps break down barriers, change the image of rail and ultimately bridges the skills gap in the sector.

A cross between “It’s a Knockout” and “The Krypton Factor”, The Big Rail Diversity Challenge is an all-inclusive event and provides a platform for everyone to team build and network while taking part in a mixture of fun challenges consisting of mental-, physical- and skill-based activities within gender balanced-teams.

The event showcases that gender-diverse teams work better together and raises awareness of the business benefits attained when companies improve equality, diversity, and inclusion within their workforce.


THE BIG RAIL DIVERSITY CHALLENGE:

 

  • Showcases and emphasises the positive difference diversity brings to the industry

  • Brings together a cross-section of industry workforce, from undergraduates to CEOs

  • Promotes organisations’ messages supporting a more diverse and inclusive workforce

  • Opens doors for those looking to embark on a career in the rail industry


WHY IS EDI IMPORTANT?

 

A diverse and inclusive working environment, where team members’ unique needs, perspectives and potential are respected and encouraged, creates a sense of belonging. When employees feel more connected at work, they tend to work harder and smarter, producing higher quality work. As a result, organisations see huge gains in business results, innovation and decision-making.
