Diversity at Rio Tinto

The company employs 547 indigenous peoples in the FNQ area. Women are encouraged to apply for roles and receive support where needed.

Very diverse, more women, maternity leave, people from different regions and different age groups

appears that Rio are trying to hire and retain women as well as people with indigenous backgrounds.

Rio pride themselves on been a diverse and modern company. Which I strongly support as it brings experience from around the world which overall makes us a better company.

Diversity and local hiring are of key importance.

attempting to become diverse. Indigenous employment is relatively high

As a female engineer, I've experience no discrimination in the workplace and also found that the gender ratio amongst young engineers here is quite balanced.

seems pretty good to me, haven't heard anyone mention anything in relation to any of it.

I think the diversity within the company is fantastic.

There is a strong focus on inclusion and diversity across all parts of the business. This includes white ribbon accreditation and a mutual maternity/paternity policy that allows the same amount of leave for both genders. The need to include ethnic minorities is also highly addressed particularly at an operational level. All of these aspects trickle throughout the business including recruitment.

Very little LGBT visibility. Recruitment has strong targets for gender and indigenous workers (which they frequently exceed). Child care options seem non-existent. Maternity (and paternity) leave is good, with a global policy so that all workers have the same entitlements. Still less than 50% women in ExCo.

More promotions and local events.

There are training programs in place to encourage and provide a platform for people from less privileged backgrounds to join the Rio team.

Visit local communities and sponsor programs including scholarships.

Prioritised local businesses in rural areas diversity targets

outreach to schools

They hire plenty of Aboriginals, which is good.

Haven't seen anything other than indigenous cohorts (ethnicity rather than socio-economic, although this group does usually reside in the latter).

The company provides many assistance programs to attract applicants from less privileged backgrounds, particularly in local communities in which they operate.
