Diversity at Raytheon UK is about inclusivity; which means creating a working environment where everyone feels valued and empowered, regardless of people’s background.
At Raytheon UK, diversity of talent and thought drives our innovation and creativity. We believe we are at our best when our environment is energised by different perspectives and experiences. That’s why we were one of the first defence majors to sign the UK government's Women In Defence Charter pledging gender balance across the industry and fair opportunities for women at all levels to succeed.
Diversity and Inclusion is at the centre of who we are, what we stand for and how we deliver solutions to our customers.
Our High Performance Culture
We are invested in our culture because we believe having diversity in our workforce helps us reach our goals and objectives, and enables us to be an employer of choice.
For us, an inclusive culture builds a high-performing culture and a successful organisation. We're committed to empowering and equipping all of our employees to do the 'best work of their lives'. And to ensure that our employees can bring their full selves to work, we've been working with the firm Senn Delaney, a world leader in culture shaping.
Our Flexible Working Policy
We support existing and potential employees in balancing their personal and professional needs through flexible working opportunities. In recent years, we have also enhanced our Adoption, Maternity, Paternity and Shared Parental Leave policies that support employees through life-changing events.
Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGS)
To maintain a rich and diverse talent base, we have invested in a number of Employee Resource Groups to foster support and celebrate success. They support us in fostering an inclusive and engaged culture that drives business growth and innovation. ERGs also help us attract, retain and develop employees as well as engage meaningfully with the communities where we are located.
We strongly encourage participation in ERGs by all members of our workforce; the more we can talk about inclusivity, the more we will make a difference.
