We believe a diverse and inclusive workplace encourages better connections within communities.

We welcome difference

We’re passionate about strengthening relationships and appreciating a variety of ideas and opinions. This means supporting an inclusive environment in and out of the office by:

• attracting and retaining people with a range of relevant skills, experiences and capabilities from a broad talent pool
• developing an inclusive culture where our people are engaged, feel they belong and their unique contribution is valued
• connecting effectively with our customers and community to understand and respond to their needs
• fostering innovation by leveraging the experience and ideas of our people and embracing different viewpoints

Our latest Diversity and Inclusion Annual Report describes our most recent efforts to build a more diverse and inclusive workplace.

We have a proven record in improving gender balance at all levels of leadership and in traditionally male-dominated areas. In fact, we are proud to have achieved gender pay parity for the second year running.

We also achieved gender equality in our Executive Team with 55.6 per cent female representation.

We are committed to gender balance and continue investing in initiatives such as:

• leadership and career programs – supporting development and advancement of our female talent
• mentoring and sponsorship – developing our next generation of leaders
• networking – to foster business collaboration and raise the profile of our female leaders
• flexibility – providing fulfilling and flexible careers

Acknowledging the traditional custodians of this land, their ancestors, elders and the commitment to reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders is very important to us. We have a long and proud history of providing employment and career development, building sustainable business growth in partnership, and supporting economic participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Our current Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan provides more extensive details of our commitment to reconciliation.

Reconciliation to us means:

• Working in partnership across our business to achieve parity in our workforce for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
• Addressing inequality to create positive social change, by working with the strength and resilience of community.
• Supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander business to innovate, grow and succeed.
• Connecting Australia’s most remote communities and country towns to anywhere on the globe.

We support events such as Midsumma Festival in Victoria, International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), Wear It Purple Day, and the Australian LGBTI Awards.

Our people have marched under the PostPride banner at Pride marches in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Dubbo, and have participated in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Fair Day.

We have one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse workforces in Australia. By enhancing the skills and capability of our people, we aim to break down language and cultural barriers and provide career fulfilment. Our key initiatives include:

• mentoring
• cultural awareness

• language and literacy

We’re also a proud sponsor of ‘A Taste of Harmony’, an event we celebrate nationally in our offices, facilities and retail outlets to embrace our different cultures.
