      Thanks for your review. Have you been able to speak with your line manager about your development or looked at other opportunities in the organisation. A chat with your local HR Business Partner may also be useful as they can provide advice around career development. Thanks again for sharing your comments and we hope that you are able to move forward.

      Thank you so much for your review.I just wanted to share a post on our Gender Pay Gap report:https://www.networkrail.co.uk/who-we-are/diversity-and-inclusion/gender-pay-gap-report/Our gender pay gap may fluctuate over time as we address the gender balance of the workforce and focus on increasing the number of women in our organisation. We aim to improve our retention rates and invest more in supporting and progressing our female employees so that they can compete successfully for our most senior roles.We are working hard to build greater equality within the organisation and so thank you for your comments as this says there is definitely more to do. Please do contact our Diversity and Inclusion team as they will also be able to provide more detailed insights into our programmes including 20by20 which is working to bring greater gender equality.
