March - Women’s History Month

At Thales, we believe in creating an environment where women are empowered to lead, innovate, and shape the future. As a proud sponsor of Women’s History Month on VERCIDA, we celebrate the incredible contributions of women across industries while reaffirming our commitment to gender equity in the workplace.

We know that real progress requires action, not just words. That’s why we’ve launched a range of initiatives to support women at every stage of their careers, ensuring they have the opportunities, resources, and support they need to thrive.

🔹 Solaris Women’s Executive Leadership Development Programme – Helping Black female leaders reach their full potential through mentoring, sponsorship, and coaching.
🔹 We In Thales (WiTh) Network – A community where women across our organisation connect, support each other, and drive real change.
🔹 STEM Returners Programme – Offering hands-on experience and mentorship to engineers returning to work after a career break, because talent should never go to waste.
🔹 Smart Working Initiative – Flexible working designed around real lives, because we know work should fit around people—not the other way around.
🔹 Fertility Treatment Support – Providing time off and flexibility for employees undergoing treatment or supporting a partner, because family comes first.
🔹 Menopause Support – Creating a workplace where every woman feels understood and supported at every stage of life.

This year’s International Women’s Day theme #AccelerateAction is a powerful reminder that progress towards gender equality needs to move faster. At Thales, we’re committed to pushing forward—not just during Women’s History Month, but every day—by breaking down barriers, driving change, and ensuring that women have the opportunities and support to succeed.

Join us and VERCIDA in making that future a reality.

Carers at Work: Real Experiences, Real Challenges, Real Change

Did you know that 8 out of 10 Carers in the UK are of working age with women having a 50:50 chance of providing care by the time they're 46, and men have the same chance by the time they're 57?
