The Skills Shortage Challenge

Radius Systems invites you to join a thought-provoking webinar aimed at tackling one of the most pressing challenges facing the utility sector today: the skill shortage. We are joined by a line of panelists from across the industry from Wales & West Utilities, Womens Utilities Network, Develop Training and Radius Systems.

Discover how the utilities sector is driving change through inclusivity and diversity in this must-watch on-demand webinar. Rob Long, Chief Operating Officer at Wales & West Utilities, shares how they’ve focused on driving change through establishing a true understanding of the challenges, and proactive methods of attracting more women to the business. From a place of insight, they embarked upon training the organisation, initially by implementing manager training, where they realised many leaders were not equipped to handle diversity and inclusion effectively. From this, a key element of shifting the dial was the facilitating and encouraging open conversations on the topic. Watch the full webinar to learn exactly how Wales & West Utilities implemented these small step changes, and the results they achieved in the recruitment and staff retention of women within the organisation.

Sarah Hopkins from the Women in Utilities Network presents eye-opening research, revealing that one-third of women are likely to leave the sector within the next three years due to feeling unheard. Among many other hard hitting findings. Helen Foord, HR Director at Radius Systems, explains how she believes that fostering an inclusive culture where every authentic voice is valued, and contributions are recognised is just as important a debate in its wider scope.

You'll also hear inspiring stories from women like Chloe Akers, who began her career at SGN and has witnessed the rise of female project managers in the sector. And Nicola Smith, a former British Gas engineer, shares how she overcame gender bias and misconceptions, proving that women can thrive in the utilities industry.
