📅 Date: Tuesday 9th September 2025
🕘 Time: 12:00 – 12:50
📍 Location: Online

CIHT South East are delighted to host this webinar with guest speakers from Women in Transport for a solutions-focused panel discussion tackling the motherhood penalty in transport.

Join the Conversation

The transport sector is the backbone of modern economies, yet it remains one of the most gender-imbalanced industries. Women in Transport’s groundbreaking Motherhood Penalty report shines a spotlight on the systemic challenges faced by women working in transport - from stalled career progression to workplace bias and lack of flexible support. This upcoming webinar offers a vital platform to unpack the report’s findings, share lived experiences, and explore actionable strategies for creating a more inclusive and equitable industry.

Why this webinar matters

Whether you're a policymaker, HR professional, industry leader, or transport worker, this session will deepen your understanding of how motherhood intersects with workplace culture, retention, and leadership pathways.

The webinar will be chaired by Deborah Sims, South East Committee EDI Officer and former president of the CIHT with a presentation by Women in Transport report leads: Joanna Hill and Shireen Ali-Khan: who will be joined by a colleague from the report sponsor Kier in a stimulating, solution-focused, panel discussion.

Be Part of the change

This is more than a discussion—it’s a call to action. By attending, you’ll join a growing movement committed to dismantling barriers and driving systemic change across the transport sector. Let’s reimagine what a truly inclusive workforce looks like, where motherhood is not a penalty but a strength.

Reserve your spot today and help shape a future where every journey—professional or personal—is supported and valued.
