This is really disappointing - no hiding from that - but we'd like to come back on some of the points.
We can't pretend we have anything like the number of women we want in leadership positions. We're working to change that . But it's certainly not for lack of respect.
At entry level we're glad that women aren't far off 50% of our recruits but like many tech companies there are far fewer as you go up the levels. We're laying down targets and creating a road map to raise our game here. We aim to at least double the proportion of women in our leadership roles.
We don't accept that women are treated differently from their male colleagues. We have inspiring women in some of our most important roles, like our CEOs in Japan and India, the chief operating officer of our wealth and trading business, head of global authorisations and directors in financial crime, risk management and legal. We believe that every employee should be treated with respect, female or male, and we won't tolerate anything else.
We're disappointed that one of our colleagues thinks our benefits don't measure up. We aim to offer benefits at least as good as our peers and we’re upgrading our parental benefits in Q3, focusing on leave and support for our employees. The truth is we're a young company and we're learning fast and introducing new benefits and improving all the time. We learn from employees (and even competitors) what they think makes life work for them (like hybrid working, up to two months working abroad and this year two extra well being days to take when you need them). And we'll keep doing that.
We would really like to speak with you about the points you have raised, please reach out to your manager, Jim and/or our thriving Women@Revolut guild. We want all voices to be heard at Revolut.
We can always be better, and we'll never settle.
