XPS Group makes The Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality 2026 list

19 Jun 2026

XPS Group is delighted to be named by Business in the Community (BITC) as one of The Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality 2026, recognising that it is an organisation leading the way in creating equitable and inclusive workplaces.

The Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality is the UK’s most highly profiled and well-established listing of employers taking action to create workplaces where everyone, regardless of their gender, can thrive. The process is designed and assessed by Business in the Community and promoted by The Times.

The annual awards process recognises employers that are embedding gender equality into all levels of their organisations, and it reflects the continued commitment of leading employers to drive meaningful change. It continues to set the benchmark for responsible business practice, celebrating organisations that are not only making progress within their own workplaces but also helping to drive wider change across sectors.

Paul Cuff, Co-CEO of XPS Group, said: “Personally, being recognised in The Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality means a great deal. It reflects the hard work, commitment and care that so many people across XPS have put into building a more inclusive business, and strengthens our determination to keep creating a workplace where everyone can thrive.”

Ndidi Okezie OBE, Chief Executive of Business in the Community, said: “The case for gender equality in business is unequivocal. Now, more than ever, employers must continue to take action on gender equality, creating workplaces where employees can reach their true potential. Progress on gender equality is not only vital for fairness, but for business performance and long-term economic growth. I want the TT50 to help businesses recognise that gender equality has multifaceted benefits. It isn’t just about businesses doing good – it’s about the fact that doing good makes you do well.”
