Diversity

Georgiou values diversity, fostering an inclusive culture that understands and supports differences, and actively meets the unique needs of our entire workforce. Diversity may result from a range of factors: origin, age, gender, race, cultural heritage, lifestyle, education, physical ability, appearance, language or other factors.

In order to create a workplace environment for our employees and people who work on behalf of Georgiou to excel, we actively and flexibly seek to accommodate the unique needs of all employees.

In 2019, we introduced diversity champions to offer additional reporting pathways for employees, launched Paid Parental Leave, and reviewed our recruitment practices to attract and promote more women.

Our current initiatives include:

• The introduction of internal and external annual pay parity audits
• Mandatory unconscious bias training for all managers and employees in recruiting roles
• Greater diversity reporting at Board and leadership levels
• The ongoing review and further refinement of flexible working arrangements
• A greater commitment to creating a family-friendly environment for all employees through paid parental leave:
  • Paid and unpaid leave available to primary and secondary carers, including stillbirth and miscarriage leave.
  • Parents room provided in some locations.
  • Staying in touch processes for new parents.

In addition to our diversity initiatives, all employees have access to a network of support programs to assist them through all aspects of their lives.

These include:

• Our national Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• MATES in Construction suicide prevention and mental health programs
• Domestic Violence Leave
• ADF Reserves Service Leave
• Cultural leave.
