 Since 2019, the company, which employees over 9,000 employees, has achieved significant progress in balancing representation across the business. There is a 50:50 balance on their Management Board and female representation in the Senior Management Group has increased from 33% to 41%, up by 7% from 2021. However, gender representation among postal sorting, collection and delivery operations staff is at 13% female compared to 87% male. Outlined in this year’s report, An Post has committed to replicating their success of gender representation at the front line of their business with a clear strategy to re-design the recruitment process for postal operative (sorting and delivery) staff. This plan will actively recruit diverse talent with:

Targeted advertising campaigns
Revision of the company’s inclusion statement on job ads
Training of operational managers on inclusive recruitment.
