Workplace

Our changing workplace requires new skills and capabilities and a different approach to people management.

At the same time our business is expanding internationally as we increase our presence in key markets. We need to create a mobile workforce and use skills and capabilities from across BAE Systems to service customers wherever they are based.

These changes are taking place against the backdrop of a skills shortage and increased competition for science and engineering graduates in many of our home markets. We must anticipate and respond to these trends.

Our approach includes:

• Expanding our recruitment pool to include talented people from both genders and all backgrounds
• Creating an inclusive work environment that supports the retention of skilled employees, and encourages collaboration between employees in different markets
• Providing training to help employees keep abreast of changing customer requirements
• Good communication that keeps all employees involved and motivated regardless of location.
