Telespazio UK is committed wholly to promoting a harmonious workplace for everyone who works on our sites, and we embrace our diverse working population as a key component of this. We understand the value and strength in recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce, and partner closely at both Telespazio and Leonardo group level to ensure best practice is in place across all offices.

We work to support all of our employees to reach their potential, and apply our equal opportunities policy across all areas of the business, from recruitment and selection, to training and development and beyond.

At Telespazio UK, we have made a concerted effort to focus on improving our gender balance within the organisation. We’re proud to say that at the start of 2020, 34% of our workforce is women, and in the past three years, over 55% of our new hires have been women.
