7.8
7.8 rating for Diversity, based on 66 reviews
Please provide further information on diversity with respect to women, ethnic minorities and LGBT. Please comment on issues such as recruitment, retention, promotion, child care, maternity leave, etc.
The company is very good with educating team members on diversity with LGBTQ allies having training, as well as indigenous recognition at meetings among other things.

The company respects all employees with respect to diversity. Majority of staff wear stickies on their name badges to highlight they support those differing backgrounds, sexuality etc. In regards to child care and maternity leave coles is very considerate. during school holidays the company offers a holiday program to aide staff. They also promote flexible working arrangements so parents can support their children.

There are clear metrics identified by management here to help boost gender equality within management positions. Even in a digital field that doesn't have a high female participation rate, I have seen many female leaders in Tech teams. On LGBTQ inclusion, an ally program supporting team members has been set up and supported from an Exec level too.
