Our vision is to be an extraordinary airport, fit for the future. To me, extraordinary means a place where you experience something you can’t experience somewhere else. Our diversity is a major part of that unique experience and our approach to inclusion is a critical part of our vision. A key element of us achieving this is creating the right inclusive culture where diverse colleagues can thrive, being themselves to enable the successful delivery of Heathrow’s vision with a true sense of belonging and be part of a winning team.
Day in and day out, we welcome passengers and colleagues with unique backgrounds, experiences and perspectives from around the world. By having a diverse workforce this makes us stronger and helps us respond to the needs of our colleagues and passengers.
When you join Heathrow, you join an organisation with ambitions to make Heathrow a great place to work for everyone and for all our colleagues to come to work and feel a true sense of belonging.
We continuously work to strengthen our capability and amplify the voice of colleagues so that Heathrow is a place where openness, honesty, challenge and innovation are encouraged and valued.
