By partnering with FTSE 350 companies and government departments, The Pipeline enhances talent pipelines while increasing retention and creating a broader pool of women leaders.

Building organisational talent pipelines

The Pipeline advocates for systemic change within the leadership structures of organisations. While companies typically achieve gender balance at entry levels, women consistently face obstacles in advancing to middle management and beyond. Pipeline is a campaigning organisation disrupting entrenched patterns and fostering true gender equity.
