We are inclusive
AN INCLUSIVE EMPLOYER
CHANGING THE CONVERSATION. MAKING THE CHANGES.
As our industry continues to transform at pace, we continue to champion the diversity that strengthens innovation, helps win the war for talent, evolves our senior management structure. So we go beyond recruiting, training and retaining an engaged, skilled workforce to addressing issues such as the gender pay gap and inspiring young people today to see how they can become the senior management of tomorrow.
JLR signing the Race at Work Charter is a significant milestone, making us the first car company to be featured on the list. And already our commitment to diversity has created record numbers of female engineering apprentices joining JLR.

A FOCUS ON… JLR PRIDE
The aim of our JLR Pride network is simple. To support and foster a safe and open working environment for all, and to promote LGBTQ+ inclusivity across JLR. We achieve this by supporting and speaking up for members of the LGBTQ+ community across our business. By being advocates and educating those who may not understand. By influencing policy to be more inclusive and ensuring JLR attracts and retains the best talent. And being a visible demonstration of JLR’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.
