Your success is our priority and we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where you feel supported and empowered to thrive. Your unique perspective fuels innovation and collaboration, and we strive to provide you with the opportunities and resources needed to reach your full potential.
You are the driving force behind everything we do when it comes to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We want you to feel like BMT is your place to be and to feel a sense of belonging. We know this is how you can do your best work, honing your unique skills and perspective helps us tackle big engineering challenges in fresh, innovative ways. That’s why we’re focused on giving you the tools and support that you need to thrive as well as continuously nurturing an environment- where well-being, inclusion, and individuality are embraced.
Our continued focus is building an inclusive environment and for FY24-26 our diversity focus areas are gender diversity and neurodiversity. We’re working to make sure everyone, regardless of gender, has equity of opportunity to grow and succeed. At the same time, we’re strengthening support for neurodiverse employees, ensuring that different ways of thinking are valued, awareness is raised, and support is given where required as a priority. Your voice is what shapes our progress, and together, we’re building a stronger, more inclusive BMT where you can do your best work and feel truly valued.
We're introducing a fresh approach to how we do things. We’ve set up a new Global DE&I Committee to make sure our efforts stay connected across our global teams. Last year we transitioned our regional DEI forums to formal committees to ensure the right set up for action. The goal? To make sure every voice - yours included - is heard, and that we continue building a truly inclusive culture.
But we’re not stopping there. Our Employee Networks - like Prism (our LGBTQ+ network), menopause support, neurodiversity, and Technical Women’s Forum (soon to be Global Women’s Network) - are growing and evolving. These spaces are all about giving you a place to connect, share experiences, and drive real change.
To keep things moving in the right direction, our networks and committees recently completed training with The DEI Code, gaining new skills to lead impactful and successful networks and committees. And with our Global DE&I Committee bringing together regional teams, senior leaders, and DE&I ambassadors, we’re making sure accountability stays at the heart of everything we do. Together, we’re creating our vision for a workplace where diversity is celebrated, equity is a given, and inclusion is just part of everything we do.
We're excited to be working with Inclusive Employers, the UK’s leading membership organisation for building inclusive workplaces. They’re experts in offering consultancy, training, and thought leadership to help businesses make inclusion a part of everyday life.
We now have access to valuable resources and advice to help our employees thrive. A recent audit gave us fresh insights into how we can push our diversity and inclusion efforts even further.
We’re proud of the progress we’ve made but we’re taking more steps to drive further inclusivity throughout our key employee journey stages such as recruitment, career development, and overall wellbeing initiatives. That means expanding inclusive training, increasing transparency in hiring and promotions, and strengthening support for underrepresented groups. Because when everyone can succeed, we all win.
By making inclusivity a core part of everything we do, we're creating a workplace where you feel valued, supported, and empowered to succeed - every single day.
We believe in a workplace that’s fair, inclusive, and full of opportunities for all genders. Gender diversity isn’t just a goal; it’s a must for creating an environment where you can thrive, grow, and succeed which benefits everyone
By challenging stereotypes, calling out discrimination, recognising bias, and actively fostering inclusion, you play a vital role in shaping a workplace where diverse perspectives fuel creativity, better decisions, and stronger performance. Together, we can build a culture where everyone has the chance to shine.
We recognise that disabilities can present unique challenges, and we’re committed to ensuring you have the right support, barriers removed, and opportunities to thrive.
By fostering awareness, and challenging stereotypes, we’re creating an environment where your contributions are valued and recognised. Our commitment to inclusivity also means focusing on areas like neurodiversity, where early data shows that a portion of our workforce identifies as neurodivergent. As we continue to learn and evolve, we’re strengthening support networks to ensure everyone feels included and has the resources they need.
Inclusion isn’t just a policy - it’s a culture, and together, we’re building a workplace where you can do your best work and be your authentic self.
We want you to bring your whole self to work—because when you can be authentically you, it not only improves performance but also creates a healthier, more inclusive culture. We know that for LGBTQ+ individuals, constantly navigating social norms can be exhausting and disempowering. That’s why we’re committed to making sure you feel seen, valued, and supported at BMT.
Prism is our network for LGBTQ+ colleagues and their allies. Its purpose is to provide support, connection and challenge for our organisation and our colleagues, to be a critical friend in the awareness and promotion of LGBTQ+ issues, and to encourage us to demonstrate our values through our behaviours.
