Diversity and Inclusion

British Airways Policy

It is British Airways aim to promote diversity, inclusion and equality of opportunity in employment regardless of sex, marital or civil partnership status, gender reassignment, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins, sexual orientation, disability, religion or belief, political affiliation and age, consistent with British Airways’ business objectives.

We promote equality of opportunity and encourage diversity for three very important reasons:

· as people working together in a business, all employees have obligations to respect and value each other. Equality of opportunity is a fundamental aspect of such respect.

· to be the best managed company, British Airways wants to attract and develop the most talented people. Ensuring equality of opportunity and valuing diversity will help British Airways to understand the needs of, and provide the best possible service to, its customers.

· there are legal obligations intended to promote equality of opportunity. As a responsible company, it is essential that British Airways complies with these obligations.

Our recruitment and selection procedures positively support this aim of a diverse workforce. All candidates are considered strictly on their merits in relation to the selection criteria for the job. We aim to treat all candidates fairly and consistently and be responsive to their needs throughout the recruitment, selection and appointments process.

We welcome applications from disabled people and as members of the Employers' Forum on Disability we are committed to becoming disability confident. If you experience any difficulties or have related queries whilst completing an application online, then please contact BARecruitment@ba.com.
