Over the last five years Morgan Sindall has continuously developed its diversity and inclusion strategy, introducing a bespoke Returnships programme, localised recruitment drives, and conducting a complete review of all policies.

Simon Smith, managing director for Infrastructure said: "We've had a great year of recognition for our family-friendly culture and are delighted to have been shortlisted by WorkingMums.co.uk. We are keen to welcome people from all walks of life into our business, and our family-friendly culture has helped with a significant change in our employee make-up. Over 20.5% of our employees are female, which is 6.5% more than the industry average and approximately 70% of our total employees benefit from some sort of flexible working arrangement."
