Sky LONDON — March 8 is International Women's Day, a day where women globally are celebrated for their achievements across all fields of work and facets of society. The day is also a means to raise the continuing issues of gender inequality and the fight towards equality.

Obviously, no one is suggesting that women have achieved total equality in the workplace. A significant gender pay gap still exists, female CEOs are still a rarity, and sexist dress codes persist in many offices.

However, in recent years, the vast majority of workplaces have made efforts to become more inclusive and welcoming places for female staff members.

To celebrate this fact, jobs marketplace Glassdoor scoured its listings and reviews to find a set of UK companies that are doing the most to champion and encourage women in workplace — whether that's through gender diversity initiatives, extra generous maternity leave allowances, or on-site facilities for new mothers.
