Women Want to Work at PepsiCo UK
PepsiCo UK has been named in the Top 50 of The Times' prestigious 'Where Women Want to Work' league. With increasingly tough standards for inclusion on the list, PepsiCo UK is proud to have been named this year, continuing a great trend of diversity and inclusion.

The listing is designed to provide information on the most progressive large organisations to help women compare and choose where they might want to work. By achieving a place in the top 50, PepsiCo UK had to provide evidence on their commitment to recruiting, developing and retaining female talent through five criteria.
The PepsiCo UK entry focussed on the progress being made to encourage women into roles traditionally held by men, such as manufacturing. With a variety of manufacturing sites across the UK, employing more than 4000 people, development in this area is key to PepsiCo's long-term growth and competitiveness.
Jan Woods, HR Director of PepsiCo UK, said: "As a result of our efforts, our representation of female managers in manufacturing stands at 36 per cent, against a national average of 25 per cent."
Woods continued: "supporting females is one area of focus on our Diversity and Inclusion agenda. We continue make good progress in our diversity and inclusion journey, with a number of great initiatives in place."
She concluded: "PepsiCo are one of the very few FMCG companies to have been included in the list. This only builds upon our reputation as a company where talented people from different backgrounds choose to work."
