BT has parted company with its human resources chief in the wake of dropping the diversity targets in its manager bonus scheme.
Athalie Williams, BT's chief people and culture officer, will leave the company after two and a half years in the role for personal reasons.
The HR boss is understood to be going back to retire in her native Australia and spend more time with her family.
She is set to be placed by Alison Wilcox, who previously served as BT's group HR director before taking up non-executive positions in the NHS.
Last month the company dropped the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) measure in its manager bonus scheme - but BT insists the move was not connected to Ms William's departure.
