The Women's Network

The Women’s Network aims to develop, inspire and connect women across ITV, internationally. The Network is steered by champions from across all areas of ITV, who together deliver inspirational events and development workshops for members each quarter, along with numerous Networking opportunities throughout the year.

The Network has also generated substantial & positive changes within the organisation; including the launch of a maternity support programme, which offers advice and support for women approaching and returning from maternity leave. The Women’s network and ITV Balance were at the heart of launching our smart working initiative.
