Diversity at Ventia

We were finalists for the diversity works awards 2024 in NZ.

I think this year in particular there has been a focus on putting proper support and networks for minorities within the company. The policies in Ventia are great. The NZ side of the business is a lot more diverse than Australia, but this diversity is in lower paying roles within the company.

I am finding the diversity with myself is good but I haven't seen anything else regarding it.

They have a gender pay gap, and are trying to hire more women.

Very diverse company

Strong focus on diversity through TRECCA, indigenous initiatives, Rainbow Tick initiatives, and 40/40/20 commitment.

With the graduate program there's like about a 1 to 1 ratio of women to men. Overall, there's also a good variety of ethnicities part of the program as well. Ventia also has a lot of communities such as an intercultural network or an LGBTIQA+ community which gives those people a community, people to reach out to and a sort of support system also which is good.

Graduate cohort is diverse and fairly equal in gender however the industry within STEM lacks women, younger workers and ethnic minorities/LGBTQIA community

We have specific recruitment processes set up for each division of diversity (veterans, women, ethnic minorities, indigenous, disabled, etc.) We partner with a recruitment company who runs hiring manager training that goes over diversity employment. We also are joined with a company who focuses on indigenous recruitment and retention. I am unsure of issues such as promotion, childcare and maternity leave.

Very diverse

The company tries its best to be diverse and promote it. The company does promote and celebrate events like International Women's Day, R U Okay day , indigenous events ,Mental health week and more to promote diversity with respect to women, ethnic minorities and LGBT.

Ventia have a diverse community, from all races, background and ages

Not much idea with this but not a diverse senior management. Lots of work in indigenous involvement.

From what I have seen my company understands the importance of diversity and is doing work to ensure that women and people of diverse backgrounds are recognised and supported, and have access to the appropriate resources that they may need

everyone is very respectful towards different culture gender etc

Company has high goals in mind in regards to diversity. I don't know how they plan to achieve this.

The company takes diversity very seriously and has recently committed to the 40:40:20 rule - 40% women, 40% men, 20% either. Additionally, the company takes the hiring of indigenous people very seriously.

The company is doing its best to tackle diversity. With an industry that is primarily in physical, laborious industries, it bolsters some impressive numbers with regards to women. However, there is still a lot of work to be done. In terms of aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, the company has a number of programs that focus on recruitment, retention, and rehabilitation in the community. I am really proud of their efforts.

equal representation

Yes, they try to attract applicants from less privileged backgrounds.

Ventia have Aboriginal program to hire graduate from Aboriginal background and work with Aboriginal sub-contractor.

Partner with social procurement companies to employ people from different bacgrounds.

My company has multiple programs in various locations designed around developing Indigenous talent by offering them roles within our company, working to develop better outcomes in the communities we are working in

they sponsor for them while they are to get permanent residency

Everyone on the grad program is unique and diverse.

Ventia has disability and social inclusion managers on contracts that ensure applicants from less priveleged backgrounds are given opportunities and special training if required.

I can not comment on this as I do not know.
