Diversity at Department of Transport and Main Roads

My previous team encouraged diversity at their team to increase high number of women, ethnic women at their team while my new team already has a very diverse work environment include men, women, ethnic men, ethnic women, young men, women and elder men and women.

Very good in this aspect

Very respectful to all. Equal opportunities are available to everyone. There is flexibility to meet any need of employees and applicants.

TMR is committed to reconciliation and creating a workplace that empowers Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples to thrive.

They will be happy to speak with you via phone or email about how your specific needs can be met.

Always open for everyone

The racial diversity is relatively high. I think all background are accepted, but the gender diversity could be higher.

The company is acceptive of all and treats everyone with respect.

The company is open to diversity and inclusion. It offers parents generous time to spend with their children.

Committed to diversity and inclusion with a number of programs focused on targeting areas.

Thus far, I have felt inclusion and diversity is incredibly valued at my organisation. I have been involved in several training and workshop sessions centred around diversity in the workplace.

The company is clearly committed to diversity and inclusion with respect to women, disability, ethnic minorities and the LGBTIQA+ community. I have yet experienced or know of any issues such as recruitment, retention, promotion, child care, maternity leave, etc.

TMR tries their best, although their efforts can be seen as performative at times. But there is generally a diverse workforce which I admire.

TMR feels like an extremely welcoming place and there has already been awareness spread/panels about pride month, men's mental health etc, and the 'one TMR' slogan does generally seem something that is put into practice. From my experience in the team TMR is extremely flexible with mat leave/working from home even beforehand and prioritising the health of the baby. The recruitment process also had a diversity component and various grad events or feedback mechanisms have considered diversity. I can't really comment on promotion but there are lots of staff that have been here for a long time.

The Graduate program seems to recruit with diversity in mind, however other recruitment across the business does not look to prioritise diverse applicants - this is shown in the homogeny of some teams/branches.

There is a commitment but growing in respect to women, ethnic minorities and LGBTIQA+. There is resource / staff shortage

We have monthly accessibility and inclusion meetings for the whole of the branch and have a social media channel dedicated to accessibility and inclusion.

Various programs such as women in leadership, women in construction various different recruitment techniques which eliminate bias.

This messaging is often relayed in the office - feels very supported.

I work in a diverse team which is accommodating and respectful. I have found this to be the case with other teams I have interacted with.

The organisation is very accepting of diversity
