Thales values flexibility and is committed to supporting our employees to find the most effective and efficient ways of working. Our employee flexibility program called ‘ThalesFlex’ covers areas such as the place you’re working, how you work, leave arrangements and role flexibility. Eligible employees can enjoy Rostered Days Off to support your work-life balance.
Families@Thales
Thales has become an employer member of Parents at Work, a membership-based organisation providing work and family education and policy advisory services. The goal for this partnership is to bridge the work and home divide by embedding flexibility, wellbeing, parental transition and wider caring services to enable workplaces and their people to thrive.
Employee Resource Groups
Thales has an active Respect@Thales Council that plays a crucial role in connecting Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) initiatives to our broader business strategy. The group aims to promote and maintain an inclusive culture where we can all be our authentic selves, approach our work with passion and achieve our full potential. The council is focusing on 5 areas; LGBTQ+, Gender, Reconciliation Action Plan, Veterans and Neurodiversity & Accessibility. Each stream has a dedicated Employee Resource Group (ERG) and Executive Sponsor who are working on building a strategy for the respective area with the goal of fostering a respectful workplace.
