Our Ref:         FOI-3542-1819

Thank you for your request received on 19 March 2019 asking for information about women employed at Crossrail Limited.
 
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm we do hold the information you require. You asked:
 
•         Are there any women (and who) in executive leadership at Crossrail? How many women have senior managerial positions in Crossrail? What is the proportion of leadership positions held by women?
 
Crossrail Limited is a relatively small client organisation and the Gender Pay Gap Report only relates to those individuals employed directly by Crossrail Limited.
 
On the Crossrail Executive Group there are four women (Susan Beadles, Lucy Findlay, Nisrine Chartouny, and Dawn Barker) and eight men. Four members of the Executive Group (three of whom are women) are employed directly by Crossrail Limited; four members are employees of TfL and the remaining four members (including one woman) are employed by companies performing professional services for CRL. 
 
Only the four individuals employed by Crossrail Limited are included in Crossrail Limited’s Gender Pay Gap Report.
 
•         What programs has Crossrail implemented to address the pay gap? What are the quantitative results of these programs, schemes, and/or recruitment techniques?
 
Over the life time of the Crossrail project the emphasis has been on the broader diversity and inclusion agenda for the overall infrastructure business.  Crossrail Limited is a project specific company and it was considered that a a more lasting impact would be made if our initiatives focussed on our supply chain.  The initiatives were outlined in the Gender Pay Gap Report 2017.
 
•         How many women have been hired at Crossrail each year since 2010 compared to male hires, is this an increase in % female?
 
Since 2010 see below the breakdown of starters and leavers by gender for Crossrail Limited.
