Diversity & Culture Women in Food Compass Group UK & Ireland launch "Women in Food" The company has made a commitment to have female chefs form 50% of its workforce by 2020. The company currently employs 4393 chefs, of which 1537 (35%) are female. This already exceeds the industry average of 18.5%. Inflexible and long working hours in the traditional restaurant sector has made it a challenging career choice for women who wish to juggle a family life. However, contract catering offers an alternative with the ability to work shifts in a variety of fields, from schools to business and in healthcare and defence. Compass is seeking to do more in a bid to attain gender equality in a male dominated industry through making an investment in learning and development for female chefs that currently work for the company and those who will be recruited. The company will also be reviewing working practices, to identify areas where shift work and flexible working hours are able to be introduced and further enhanced opportunities for development from entry level through to senior roles.

The Covenant includes pledges by our business to ensure no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of services compared to any other citizen and in some circumstances special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
