Inclusion and diversity

We value difference

We believe in the transformative power of engaging different perspectives and working with people from different backgrounds, cultures, and approaches to enhance our working environment and drive business performance. Understanding and respecting our differences, allows us all to do our best work.

Being an inclusive employer makes us a better business. It enables everyone who works here to fully contribute, this means we can attract more diverse talent (broadening our talent pool) and it helps us to be competitive in the marketplace.

Our inclusion, diversity and social mobility goals

Our ambitions are bold as we drive to have a minimum 30% women in the business by 2030. To accelerate progress we have looked again at our strategic approach to inclusion and diversity and are taking a number of actions including: rolling out new policies and ways of working, refreshed recruitment processes, improved leadership development, enhanced mentoring programmes and career returners schemes along with training.

We have also launched our Gender Balance Action Plan (GAP). This acts as the blueprint for Inclusion and Diversity, informed by data and insight, and is supported by our Senior Inclusion and Diversity Executive Committee Sponsor

Disability confident and reasonable adjustments

We are proud to be certified as ‘Committed’ to the Disability Confident employer scheme and are always working to ensure that Babcock is a company that is fully accessible to candidates and employees with disabilities.

If you have a disability or need any reasonable adjustments during our application and selection process then please speak with a member of recruitment team or email: [email protected] with the subject header ‘Reasonable adjustments requirement’ and a member of our team will advise you.

Our networks

As part of our commitment to supporting our employees, Babcock is delighted to sponsor a number of employee networks within the business. As experts in the lived experience of their individual groups, they bring a different and personal perspective which helps us understand and support all our people better.
