Our Employee Resource Groups

Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) play a central role in shaping an inclusive workplace. They are a key part of how we live our commitment to Inclusion for All, creating spaces where colleagues can connect, feel supported and help shape positive change.

Our ERGs include:

  • African, Black and Caribbean Professionals – Building visibility, community and career development.

  • Connected Women – Championing gender equity and empowering women across the business.

  • LGBTQIA+ – Supporting LGBTQIA+ colleagues and allies, and promoting visibility.

  • Future GKN – Giving early career talent a voice in shaping our culture.

  • Mastering Neurodiverse Strengths – Celebrating neurodiversity and promoting accessible and inclusive ways of working.

  • Veterans & Reservists – Honouring military experience and supporting the transition into civilian roles.

Together, these groups strengthen belonging, amplify underrepresented voices and contribute to innovation, engagement and talent development across GKN Aerospace. We encourage new groups to form where additional focus or support is needed, and we continue to support ERG leads through development, sponsorship and access to senior leaders. 

A powerful example of their impact comes from one of our ERG leads, whose experience reflects how these communities help people grow, build confidence and shape their careers:

This experience has really shaped the way I show up, not only at work, but in general. I take more ownership of my development, my path, and my life. And strangely enough, I feel more confident not because I suddenly know more, but because I’ve realised how much I don’t know, and how much I still want to learn. A big part of that comes from the contact I’ve had with senior leadership, their stories, their honesty, and the way they encourage you to step up, stretch yourself, and try even if you’re not sure you’ll succeed. Hearing that making mistakes is part of the process has given me so much more confidence and optimism. It made me see growth differently, and it made me trust myself more.
