ITV Women's Network
The Women’s Network purpose is to develop, inspire and connect women across ITV, both in the UK and internationally. The Network is steered by champions from across all areas of ITV, who together deliver inspirational events and development workshops and curate content for members, along with numerous networking opportunities throughout the year for ITV colleagues.
Since launching in 2017 the Network has also generated initiatives within the business; including the launch of a maternity support programme, which offers advice and support for women approaching and returning from maternity leave - Whether it’s information on flexible working and keeping in touch days or workshops to build confidence and develop careers. Over the last year the Women’s Network ran a development programme called Inspire, a mixture of development workshops to enable women to reach their potential, build confidence and impact and influence. The program included coaching and action-based learning.
To support career development the network has hosted "mix and mingles", where network members hear from senior leaders across the business about their career journey, we also launched ‘Career Conversation with..’ a vodcast series to shine a light on the career journeys of women across ITV, in addition to interactive career focused workshops and 'Lean in Circles'
Most recently to support the wellbeing of our network members we held our first annual Wellbeing Festival and have given the space and opportunity to connect and offer support via Coffee Roulette and Frazzled Cafe's. There is an active book club that inspires discussion and debate around diversity and women’s issues.
Now with over 1200 members The Women’s Network are more committed than ever to inspire, develop and connect women across ITV.
