Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiatives
Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives are designed to attract, develop, and retain the most talented professionals in the market regardless of race, gender, age, sexual orientation or any other dimension of diversity there by ensuring diversity in the workplace. Each of us has a different experience to contribute to our company and to our clients. It is the breadth of these experiences, and how they all work together, that makes us succeed. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives include:
- Working Parents – Parental leave payments (primary and secondary caregivers), additional superannuation payments, keeping in touch programme, reintegration leave.
- Domestic Violence – Paid domestic violence leave, confidential toolkit.
- Workplace Flexibility – Remote working, flexible hours, sabbaticals.
- Health and Wellbeing – Employee Assistance Program, the Mental Health Movement.
- Training and Awareness – Unconscious bias, non-discrimination and harassment awareness.
Our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Steering Committee provides strategic direction and support to our employees in their grass-roots efforts. The steering committee is comprised of Managing Directors from around the globe as well as key leaders in HR. The steering committee is gender-balanced and includes representatives from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, reflecting the blend of our broader workforce.
Our Diversity Champions Network is a diverse spectrum of individuals from different offices, bringing together employees from across solutions and career levels to design and implement diversity programming. Serving as change agents, these individuals connect people on a local level to the bigger strategy – through events, educational programming, and Employee Network Groups.
