LGBTQIA+ at Thales

(Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual and any other types of sexuality and gender identity.)

At Thales we want our people to feel that they can be their authentic selves at work. Nobody should have to work harder to try and fit a mould. We recognise that being able to express your gender identity and sexual orientation in a way that suits you – not the people around you – is a huge part of that.

We are committed to understanding more about what we can do to create a more inclusive culture, and a more attractive workplace for current and future LGBTQIA+ employees. Through conversations with our LGBT+ Network and LGBTQIA+ employees we have launched our Gender Identity and Transitioning at Work policies as a first step. We have also partnered with Stonewall, an organisation fighting for the freedom, equity and potential of LGBTQ+ people everywhere, to help accelerate our approach.

We encourage all UK employees to use our new email signature template that includes pronouns. Find out more about why pronouns are important.

2022 Awareness Days

In February we celebrated UK LGBT+ History Month with the support of our LGBT+ network. Each week throughout February there was a new opportunity for us to increase our awareness and understanding of the challenges facing LGBT+ people both now and in the past
