For the second consecutive year, DPP has ranked 2nd in the Planning Magazine’s Annual Consultancy Survey in respect of the proportion of female Directors.
DPP is committed to providing a flexible workplace to ensure everyone in our team is able to fulfil their potential and create a work / life structure that’s right for them. This includes hybrid working, compressed hours, part time hours and our monthly early finish Fridays. We provide a mentoring scheme which offers guidance and nurturing from those with lots of experience in the industry. And all our team have a career pathway mapped out at DPP created, updated and discussed through our quarterly personal review process.
In total, 53% of DPP’s team and 55% of the Directors, five out of nine, are female.
Speaking to Planning magazine about DPP’s female leadership and proportion of female planners, COO, Faith Folley said:
We believe our success in creating such an equal gender balance among both our directors and our planners is due to how flexible we are as a business. Creating and nurturing a working environment that offers everything from hybrid working, compressed hours to early finish Fridays means that the whole team, no matter their gender, can benefit from a better work-life balance. DPP is passionate about promoting from within.
