CCFE wants to attract employees from all backgrounds and aims to create a welcoming environment where they can achieve their best and contribute to our mission.

We are taking steps to recruit more women and people from other under-represented groups, addressing the historic lack of diversity in our industry. The Working Families Benchmarking Index membership helps us to focus on creating a family friendly culture.  It also provides us with best practice standards to align with and make the improvements needed to make CCFE a more inclusive workplace.

TIDE is enei’s comprehensive self-assessment, evaluation, and benchmarking tool, which measures an organisation’s strides and strategies in fostering diversity and inclusion within the following areas:

  • Your workforce
  • Strategy and plan
  • Leadership and accountability
  • Recruitment and attraction
  • Training and development
  • Other employment practices
  • Communication and engagement
  • Procurement

TIDE supports flexible and inclusive management of D&I, moving away from strand specific language and approaches, allowing UKAEA to focus on the areas that will make the most difference to our people.
