We believe that by prioritising our values and fostering a more diverse and inclusive culture better positions us to boost employee engagement and productivity, and have an advantage in attracting and retaining skilled talent.
We have also evaluated our recruitment and development processes, reviewing all job advertisements to avoid exclusionary language, reconfigured interviews to minimise bias and expanded training programs to include inclusive leadership and unconscious bias.
We are building on this by developing targeted recruitment strategies to reach more diverse talent pools.
This is part of a wider plan to develop a comprehensive strategy where diversity is recognised, valued and celebrated, proactively advancing equality and inclusive practices
