Women in the Defence Industry
This month Dan and Jamie host a panel of female veterans for our regular podcast, The All Round Look.
They ask Ellie Ablett, Lucy Ottley and Anne Baxter why fewer female veterans appear to move into Defence sector roles than their male colleagues. Do female veterans have the same expectations as male veterans? Do they feel that they have more choices as they look to a second career than men do? How much do the culture and values of a company matter to a female veteran and what practical examples can we give to make sure that both SMEs and larger companies are doing all they can to attract a balanced, diverse workforce that includes an equitable number of female veterans?
