Diversity and inclusion
We are focused on becoming a more diverse and inclusive business
What equality, diversity and inclusion means at Arriva
Equality at Arriva means we do not discriminate based on any individual characteristic and employees should expect this in all aspects of their work lives.
Diversity at Arriva means that we actively seek out and value difference. We want our workforce to reflect the wide range of communities we serve, so we can serve them even better.
Inclusion at Arriva means that we are working to create a culture in which each employee feels welcome and that they belong. All Arriva employees should feel they can flourish and progress.
An inclusive and diverse team
We are constantly improving Arriva to become an even more diverse and inclusive place to work where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered to grow and develop, where their ideas for improvement are harnessed.
This is good for our people and good for Arriva. A diverse team helps us provide better services and brings different insights, experiences, and needs, so we are better able to serve the needs and interests of our passengers and clients.
Our five Global Inclusion Networks – Wellbeing, LGBT+, Disability, Race and Ethnicity, Gender – are open to everyone at Arriva. The networks are owned and led by employees who directly contribute to, influence, and shape our approach to inclusion.
Reflecting the communities we serve
Our ambition is to become an industry-leading organisation, known as a fair and equal employer, a great place to work, and an organisation that attracts the best talent.
We want to attract more people early in their careers, retain our best people, and increase the representation of underrepresented groups to broaden the skills, perspectives, and experiences of our workforce.
We are working to ensure that by 2030, our employees reflect the communities we serve, with continuous improvements in our workforce and workplace.

Bring your full self to work
We want you to be comfortable being yourself at work and we recognise that being confident in who you are positively impacts your well-being and your ability to be your best.
Our ‘I can be me’ campaign features people across Arriva who feel that they can be themselves at Arriva and that their individual perspective and experience is valued.
