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.
