Our goal is to ensure equality of opportunity for both women and men to flourish and succeed. By proactively breaking down barriers, challenging bias, and focusing on a culture of inclusion we’re constantly working to ensure all employees at nbn have equal access to career advancement and leadership opportunities.
We are focused on increasing the representation of women across the business. This is supported by organisation-wide initiatives including:
- Clear gender targets with ongoing performance of these targets published in our annual report
- Identifying and developing emerging female leaders and high-potential talent across all business areas
- Women’s career development, mentoring and sponsorship programs
- Women’s networking forums
- Strong focus on achieving and maintaining Gender Pay Equity
- Opportunities for flexible working arrangements for all employees
- Unconscious bias and inclusion training for all employees
- Ensuring gender balanced recruitment shortlists and interview panels when hiring new employees
Partnerships
Ours is a workplace that strives to connect, support and celebrate awareness of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex (LGBTI) employees and their allies.
We are actively building a culture that ensures everyone feels safe and comfortable to be their true and authentic selves at work each day. We are doing this through LGBTI inclusive people policies, our LGBTI inclusion eLearning module and celebrating days of significance such as International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia (IDAHOBIT).
We have an active and growing Pride@nbn network to connect and support our staff. Our LGBTI inclusion efforts were recognised at the Australian Workplace Equality Index Awards 2018 where we received Bronze Employer Status.
At nbn, we are committed to creating an inclusive and accessible workplace, which strives to support and enable employees with disabilities.
A key part of our commitment is our partnership with the Australian Network on Disability. Through this partnership with expert advisors, and through and listening to our employees we are continually striving to understand the needs of our people and to improve the accessibility of our workplace for all. We are currently creating an Accessibility Inclusion Plan and regularly review our disability policy to ensure it aligns with best practice and industry standards.
