Diversity at Energy Queensland

The company is very progressive in relation to diversity and actively improves their position on these.

I feel that the workplace is very diverse as the teams I have worked in have had people with very different backgrounds. The EBA also has a range of inclusions for different needs, but it is hard for me to comment on the quality of those.

I am a Christian and believe that these things are okay and acceptable as long as they are kept to themselves. I don't think it is reasonable to expect others to change to accommodate someone else's desires, especially when it goes against everything you believe. In this regard, the company should make it more acceptable to be able to speak your mind against LGBT etc topics as that aligns with my personal beliefs - without fear of being fired.

Company is actively looking to employ more women and Indigenous Australian members in their recruitment campaigns.

The company has a diverse workforce and makes an effort to be inclusive and diverse in their hiring practices. There are programs that promote and celebrate ethnicity, religion and sexual identity. There is a and flexible generous parental leave program in place.

There is always push to ensure inclusion within the business through work based presentations and overall work lifestyle.

The organisation promotes inclusion and offers generous maternity and personal leave.

The company are actively focussed on diversity in the workplace.

Engineering and field teams tend to be extremely male dominated. Additional leave available for reproductive issues, endometriosis, etc.

The new EBA agreement supports a lot of diverse and inclusive initiatives.

multi nationality people are everywhere

The company is very supportive of all groups, communities and cultures and I believe supports diversity really well. It is a great place to work with such a diverse group of people. Maternity leave is also now great for those yet or wanting to have kids and spend the invaluable time with the kids. Unfortunately, I had children prior to starting with the company and did not have the benefit of time off work.

I haven't really seen any issues here, however I am not in the position to really comment on this topic.

The company is dedicated to diversity and inclusion and has many incentives to help such as paternity leave for men and women.

Diversity seems to be good with support for different communities.

Power engineering is a male-dominated industry. As far as I know, EQL doesn't specifically target or recruit people from ethnic minorities and the LGBTIQA+ community or women. They strongly encourage them to apply though. Those in the office are accepting of people from all backgrounds.

Committed to diversity on basically all fronts: gender, cultural, sexual identity, etc. Focus throughout all processes such as recruitment, retention, promotion, etc. Naturally there are less women in technical roles but it is generally equivalent to national/university percentages - needs a bit more work but not just an Energy Queensland problem.

I believe they are quite committed and supportive of diversity. This includes woman, ethnic minorities and LGBTIQA+ community. It is great to be part of a company which supports all backgrounds, cultures and beliefs.
