Fleet Alliance rated Best Workplace for Women 2022

Leasing and fleet management specialist, Fleet Alliance, has been voted A Best Workplace for Women 2022.

The award is the second time the Glasgow-based company, which has a workforce with a 53:47 female to male ratio, has been recognised as A Best Workplace for Women, and it follows hard on the heels of its tenth Best Place to Work Award from the Great Place to Work Institute.

Fleet Alliance CEO, Andy Bruce, said: “We believe this award is particularly noteworthy because our business is immersed in the automotive industry which is male-dominated - something that we think needs to change.

“Here at Fleet Alliance, making the workplace a happy, inclusive and welcoming environment is crucial to us all.”

The qualifying criteria for the Best Workplace for Women require a minimum of 25% of women in the workforce; a minimum of 20% women in mid-level management; and a minimum of more than one woman on the board of directors or at executive level.

Fleet Alliance’s corresponding figures are 53%, 40% and 33% - well above the national average.

Bruce continued: “It’s more than just numbers. Creating the right environment and culture has to work across the board.

“As part of our annual Great Workplaces survey, staff responded to over 60 survey questions describing the extent to which Fleet Alliance creates a ‘Great Place to Work for All’.

“Some 85% of the ranking we achieved is based on what the women who work here reported about our workplace, and how fairly those experiences compared with the men working for us and their reports.

“So, it’s getting the balance right for all. Another way of describing it, we believe, is simply that we’re all equal.

“This second ‘Best Workplace for Women’ award demonstrates what we hope are consistent values and, in a wider context, forms part of our highly important Environmental, Social and Governance agenda,” he added.
