Thales in the UK Achieves Gender Pay Gap Milestone
January 23, 2025 | ThalesEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Thales in the UK has reached an important milestone in its journey towards workplace equity, reducing its mean and median gender pay gap to 9.1% - the first time this figure has fallen below 10%. This progress, outlined in the newly published 2024 Pay Gap Report, highlights the ongoing efforts to address gender disparities and foster a more inclusive workplace.
The report also features the third Ethnicity Pay Gap Report, which shows a mean ethnicity pay gap of 4.7% and a median gap of 2%. These figures represent positive progress; however, Thales acknowledges that we still have work to do to completely close these gaps. While the report reflects our ongoing commitments to equity, diversity, and inclusion, it also reminds us that both we and the broader industry must continue to make improvements in this area.
This year’s results align with Thales Group’s global adoption of the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), reinforcing the organisation’s shared commitment to gender equality and inclusivity.

Beyond Thermal Conductivity: Exploring Polymer-based TIM Strategies for High-power-density Electronics
10/13/2025 | Padmanabha Shakthivelu and Nico Bruijnis, MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsAs power density and thermal loads continue to increase, effective thermal management becomes increasingly important. Rapid and efficient heat transfer from power semiconductor chip packages is essential for achieving optimal performance and ensuring long-term reliability of temperature-sensitive components. This is particularly crucial in power systems that support advanced applications such as green energy generation, electric vehicles, aerospace, and defense, along with high-speed computing for data centers and artificial intelligence (AI).
Facing the Future: Time for Real Talk, Early and Often, Between Design and Fabrication
07/08/2025 | Prashant Patel -- Column: Facing the FutureThere has always been a subtle but significant divide between those who design and those who build printed circuit boards. It’s not a hostile gap, but it is a real one, and in today’s high-speed, high-complexity, high-stakes environment, that gap is costing us more than time and yield. It’s costing us innovation.
