The Tank Museum, located in Dorset, is a world-renowned museum dedicated to the history of tanks and the crews who operated them. With an impressive collection of tanks, the museum not only serves as a significant cultural attraction but also as a place of research, restoration, and conservation of historic vehicles. The museum upholds its core values of ambition, integrity, passion, and caring, fostering a dynamic and inclusive workplace for its 115-strong team.

The museum's commitment to employee engagement is evident in its inclusive initiatives. It offers an Employee Assistance Program to all staff, along with health cash plan scheme. Mental and physical wellbeing of its employees is prioritised, as shown by the provision of regular health and wellbeing events.

The Tank Museum excels in internal communication, with daily updates and a quarterly Directors update for all employees, promoting transparency and inclusivity. It values the development of its employees, as demonstrated by the Workshop apprenticeship scheme that allows young individuals to gain practical experience while earning recognised qualifications. Furthermore, managers are provided with external management training to enhance their skills and leadership capabilities.

The Tank Museum also encourages social interaction amongst its employees, fostering a sense of community within the organisation. Cross-departmental communication is promoted, with mixed departmental training days and social events held regularly. The recent renovation of the museum offices, including the addition of a staff break room, further exemplifies the museum's dedication to creating a comfortable and engaging work environment.
