What you can expect

A Strategic Differentiator

Prioritising mental health

When people are mentally well, they think clearly, make better decisions and look out for one another. That is why we treat mental health as safety; not as a side initiative, but as a core part of how we work and how we care for our people.

We have invested significant energy in building a mental health strategy that is fit for the modern world. It is designed to evolve with the changing needs of today’s workforce and to create the conditions where people can thrive. Our approach includes:

  • A Global Mental Health Champion network who promote and advocate for mental health across our organisation globally.
  • A governed and confidential Peer Support Programme, with trained supporters providing safe, structured support.
  • Dedicated training for leaders, recognising the role leadership plays in helping people thrive.
  • Foundational mental health training for everyone, building shared understanding and literacy.
  • Ongoing listening and environmental scanning to understand what our people need and acting on it.

We also run an evidence based global programme to improve the wellbeing of our people called “Live Well”. The accreditation scheme recognises sites across Rolls-Royce that take steps towards creating healthy, happy work environments. 

Rapid high-potential programme

Rapid high-potential programme

The Rapid Hi-Po programme brings together a cohort of leaders from different divisions, locations and backgrounds, and focuses on continuing their personal development and learning journeys, while also deepening their understanding of the entire Rolls-Royce group.

  • Attendees are nominated by managers and identified as potential future leaders of the organisation.
  • The programme empowers them to allocate significant time to their own development and growth, which can often be difficult as responsibilities increase.
  • Rather than insisting on specific learning or pathways, it offers full freedom to choose your own route — the areas you most want to explore, in the ways you most prefer to learn.
  • Beyond focusing on career goals and how to achieve them, the programme also provides access to senior Rolls-Royce executives.
  • It also offers the opportunity to develop deep connections with a network of peers across the organisation.

This programme is just one example of Rolls-Royce’s long-term commitment to helping our colleagues perform at their very best.

  • Regular reviews of agreed goals
  • In-the-moment feedback
  • Individual coaching to keep your career aspirations on track
  • Honest conversations
