🌟 Happy International Women in Engineering Day! 🌟 Today, we celebrate the amazing contributions of women engineers who are shaping the future with their brilliance and innovation. Let's continue to support and empower the next generation of women in STEM. #INWED2024 #WomenInEngineering #EngineeringExcellence #Innovation #DiversityInEngineering #EmpowerWomen #STEM #EngineeringHerFuture #jmgsystems #engineering #JMG #localbusiness #omaghbusiness

The representation of women in Technology in Europe is around 28%. Only. By increasing the number of women in tech roles can companies increase perspectives that can help foster innovation. 💡

Congratulations to all the talented female engineers in bp. How, Doris Reiter can you be so proud when you are part of a leadership team that is treating the former/retiree talented female engineers and staff so badly?? Fortunately those highly talented retired female bp staff members are making major contributions on the legal, communications, project management, administration and many other areas to the BP Pensioner Group Campaign to have our pensions restored to what was always promised. Not and Penny more and not a Penny less!! Readers following #bp posts will often see comments from pensioners. Why? ➡️ bp has badly let down its UK #pension scheme members. And in a US pension case a federal judge has accused the company of having "committed fraud or similarly inequitable conduct". ➡️ For two consecutive years, the company has refused recommendations of the UK BP pension fund Trustees for below inflation cost of living pension increases. #BP won’t honour long standing pension policy commitments. The fund can afford these rises without bp contributing a penny. ➡️ This pension dispute deserves wider attention, to provide a more balanced view of the company. Pensioners will continue to campaign in this way until there is meaningful engagement with pensioner representatives. 📰 For details of the pension dispute see: https://lnkd.in/eGd4aNtF  #INWED #EnhancedByEngneering #INWED24 #WomenOfbp #inclusion

Every success story for people that have previously suffered from discrimination is a step forward in the fight for total inclusion. There are many posts and comments from #BPPG that describe bp's isolation and unfair treatment of pensioners, surely discrimination based on age. #Ageism It is a clear and simple fact that any DE&I policy has failed if it excludes one or more diversity strand. bp's DE&I policy has failed this test. Indeed that attached post from Doris Reiter, with comments restricted, demonstrates bp institutional exclusionary beheviour patterns by stifling debate. It is a sad fact that both history and industry trends result in bp's unjust treatment of its former employees is far harsher on its female pensioners. 🔰Those on a direct pension from bp would traditionally have been lower paid than their male colleagues and have a lower pension as a result. 🔰Due to lower numbers of women employed in the industry at that time there will be a disproportionate ratio of women to men on surviving dependant pensions. As these two groups are both likely to be on lower than average pension they will suffer the most from this disgraceful pension increase blocking, through a period of exceptional and unprecedented inflation. The resulting drop in living standards compounded for the rest of their lives. We all need to continue to support each other in this fight until we ALL receive equal opportunity and fair treatment. #BPpensions #IWED #LGBT+

"Celebrating International Women in Engineering Day! Today, we honor the achievements and contributions of women in engineering. Let's empower more women to pursue STEM careers, break barriers, and drive innovation. Together, we can create a more diverse and inclusive future in engineering. #REEADigital #INWED #WomenInEngineering

Celebrate International Women in Engineering Day with my colleague Erika Ryter! She’s leading a panel discussion on June 20 on the “Women in Engineering 2024” virtual event hosted by Canadian Consulting Engineer. Erika’s panel will discuss STEM programs, how we can inspire women engineers from a young age, and how companies can recruit and retain women engineers. #engineer #womeninscience

It’s International Women in Engineering Day! To celebrate, we’ve asked some of our experienced consultants to share their insights and experiences in the engineering sector. Starting with Chelsea Humby, we asked her: How can female role models help break down barriers for women in engineering? Chelsea says, "Having a female role model will help demonstrate that it is an area of expertise that should be less ‘taboo’ for women to be a part of and hopefully give other females the confidence to pursue whatever career path they choose." Discover more of her perspectives in our latest Q&A below. 👇 Share your own #WomeninEngineering story with us! #WomenInEngineering #EngineeringProfessionals #INWED2024 #EdgwareAssociates #EdgwareEducation #EducationRecruitment
