Diversity at Veolia Australia & New Zealand

Recent creation of a Diversity & Inclusion Council and Employee Reference Groups backed by ExCom will make a big difference going forward.

Company appears to have a strong commitment to diversity with there being many targets in terms of having a diverse work force.

My department is the perfect example of a diversified team. We have people of all different ethnicities, backgrounds, and sexual orientations.

Company is making a push to ensure job ads are more accessible and inclusive in language to ensure we can get a more diverse workforce. Plenty of Working groups to promote inclusion in multiple diversity fields.

I have gotten to meet plenty of people with diverse ethnic backgrounds so far

Every person, no matter the level on the hierarchy have shown understanding, respect and unity in relation to diversity and inclusion. We have a diversity and inclusion council and employee resource groups (4 or 5 I believe) that are available for staff to join to be involved in the areas of diversity they wish to help grow and support.

There is a large variety of people working within the company.

Very committed,

The office is very diverse. Maternity leave is good. Staff turnover appears to be high, however. I'm not high enough in the ladder to understand why.

We have multiple programs to attract indigenous employees and younger people from lower socio-economic backgrounds.

I believe that the company is currently running an indigenous-specific program, which aims to hire indigenous people and increase the number of indigenous employees within the company.

We have Aboriginal engagement officers and coordinators who create relationships and connections with people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander decent.
