Alstom UK: A Disability Confident Leader
Alstom’s commitment to disability inclusion and employee wellbeing is essential for creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace where all our employees can thrive.
As an organisation, we have a multi-faceted approach that encompasses policies, culture, facilities, education, and continuous improvement efforts. By fostering an inclusive environment that values and supports all employees, Alstom aims to benefit from increased diversity, creativity, and overall employee satisfaction.
In 2022, Alstom UK achieved accreditation under the UK Government’s Disability Confident scheme as a Disability Confident Leader, which recognises that we are acting as a champion of the scheme within our business community.
"At Alstom's Voices of Disability, we promote disabled and neurodiverse colleagues, and we support those with carer responsibilities. It's a very active Employee Resource Group and our activities resulted in Alstom's accreditation as Disability Confident Leader in the train manufacturing industry."

As part of its Disability Confident Leader status, Alstom has taken action to record and report on disability and mental health and wellbeing in our workplace. Recording and reporting on this information will enable us to achieve:
- Improvements in employee engagement and retention.
- A better understanding of the experience of disabled people within our workforce.
- Continuous improvement in providing an inclusive workplace for disabled employees.
- A psychologically safe culture of openness and honesty which encourages employees to talk about their disabilities and allows them to work to the best of their ability.
