By BAE Systems Talent Acquisition

We’re thrilled to announce that BAE Systems has been named Phenom’s 2026 Talent Management Team of the Year! This recognition is a testament to our commitment to empowering our employees and cultivating a workplace where talent thrives.

The award highlights the success of Career Connect; our internal virtual career center designed to enable, support and empower career mobility and development for our employees. Developed by our Talent Attraction & Growth team, Career Connect is more than a tool—it’s a gateway to growth, connection and opportunity.

With Career Connect, employees can chart their own paths more seamlessly by accessing tools to showcase their skills and aspirations, search for internal roles, connect with colleagues, and benefit from tailored FAQs, development recommendations, stories and career advice.

Launched at the end of 2024, Career Connect is already showing its impact with 87% of our workforce having engaged with their Career Profile. Also, more than a third of our hires now come from within thanks to the increase in internal mobility resources; and tens of thousands of referrals were submitted in 2025 alone.

Winning this award as an organization is humbling. Talent management is about so much more than tools or programs, it’s about people. From the moment someone applies to BAE Systems to their ongoing professional development, we’re focused on fostering an environment where careers with purpose are not just possible but encouraged.

For job seekers, this award is more than industry recognition. It’s a reflection of our investment in your growth. We create next-generation mission-critical technology, but it’s the people behind the innovation who make it all possible. That’s why we’re so passionate about supporting our employees and helping them realize their full potential.
