In a speech both conciliatory and defiant, May urged her political opponents to contribute their "views and ideas" to help shape government policy.
May spoke nearly a year after taking office, and just over a month after she suffered a setback from voters in a June 8 snap election.
She acknowledged that the election result was "not what I wanted," but said she remained committed to building a fairer Britain as the country leaves the European Union.
May was speaking at the launch of a report on how to guarantee protections for the growing number of workers in the "gig economy."
May became prime minister on July 13, 2016 through a Conservative Party leadership contest after predecessor David Cameron resigned when voters decided, against his advice, to quit the EU.
She called an early election in an attempt to bolster her majority and strengthen her authority during Brexit talks.
