This is a place where you’ll be able to make a real difference. You’ll be part of an inclusive culture that values diversity of thought, rewards integrity, and merit, and where you’ll be empowered to fulfil your potential.

We recognise that an inclusive workplace – where all employees feel respected, valued, and able to achieve their full potential – is vitally important. Not only does it inspire creativity and collaboration, it’s good for business. We celebrate our differences and believe our diverse skills, abilities, and perspectives strengthen our culture and our overall performance. Find out more here.

Employee Connection Groups

Our Employee Connection
Groups (ECGs) bring people together, creating a supportive and inclusive
workplace where everyone can thrive. Led by colleagues, they offer community,
networking, and a voice to shape our culture. Whether you want to connect, grow,
or drive change, our ECGs are here to support and empower you.

What is an Employee Connection Group?

An ECG is an employee-led
group that helps challenge us to think differently, act differently and open
opportunities for learning across our business. ECGs enable our people to find
their own community within BAE Systems. Friendly and supportive, our ECGs are
there to support anyone, but particularly those who belong to under-represented
groups and who may be facing additional struggles.
