For National Inclusion Week we want to highlight the work that our Employee Networks do across the business year-round, as well as hear from them what the week means to their networks.

As we take time to reflect on International Day of Charity, we also pause to be thankful for our corporate charity partnerships and the positive impact they have on our communities. Here, CEO of the Jon Egging Trust (JET), Dr Emma Egging, shares how joint-working has made a difference to the young people across Hampshire and Dorset supported by JET and NATS.

As the schools prepare to return for the next term, we also get ready to support the next academic year of the Jon Egging Trust’s Blue Skies programme. And what better time to reflect on the graduation ceremonies JET hosted over the summer months for the students who took part.

On Wednesday 7 August we hosted our Young Women in STEM event, where the theme was creativity, perseverance, and collaboration. We hear from the event leads on how the day went and why they got involved.

As well as the training and upskilling we undertake as early careers graduates at NATS, we also get opportunities to hone our abilities in areas such as team working, collaboration and leadership. One of the key activities the cohort take part in each year is a charity fundraiser, and this year it was our turn to organise a month of fundraising events in June.

To mark this year’s Volunteers’ Week, we shine a light on some of our employees who volunteer in their spare time and find out why it’s important to them.

Learning at Work Week is a national event owned by Campaign for Learning. It aims to celebrate learning, empowering employees up and down the country to enhance and take control of their learning journey. This year’s Learning at Work Week theme is Learning Power
