As a woman in construction, I have felt incredibly welcomed on my site. You can immediately tell Lendlease has a strong emphasis on promoting diversity as there are so many women on site. This includes both Lendlease employees and trades. There are also a lot of social sustainability targets, aiming to create a more supportive environment. I was also very encouraged to see so many of my colleagues (both male and female) taking parental leave. It was also amazing to hear one of my colleagues got access to childcare subsidies which wouldn't have been available to them through any government schemes. This allowed their partner to return to work when they were ready.

The company definitely aims for it. Some people really do care about diversity, whilst others are just focussed on the statistics.

There was a strong emphasis on having female engagement in the workplace, through several initiatives such as free subscription to NAWIC (National Association of Women in Construction) and university engagement projects (site walks etc.). On top of this, there is a strong focus on Indigenous inclusion programs and male & female maternity leave

I did not see many issues about diversity. Everyone was inclusive.

Site teams are generally quite diverse with gender, more ethnicities and LGBT recruitment could be helpful though. My site team is quite good in this aspect. Need more gender/racial diversity with senior management. Child care and maternity leave is excellent according to those who have used it.

It is quite diverse given the field. Would be cool if they introduced holidays for other religious holidays instead of just Easter, Christmas etc.
