Inclusion and diversity

People at CitiPower and Powercor have diverse backgrounds, cultures, religions, LGBTIQ+ identities, ages and education levels. Building an inclusive working environment ensures everyone is valued and trusted and feels safe to be their whole authentic self.

Our Inclusion and Diversity Committee develops and implements ways of working that aim to make our workplaces as inclusive and diverse as possible. Our Inclusion and Diversity Strategy focuses on four key factors:

• Inclusion. Recognising and supporting LGBTIQ+ communities, cultural diversity and the inclusion of those with disabilities to ensure all have a sense of belonging.
• Gender diversity. Working towards greater gender balance across our business, filling more jobs and leadership positions with women and providing mentoring and networking opportunities.
• Aboriginal engagement. Creating pathways for Indigenous employment and opportunities to involve Indigenous organisations in the work we do.
• Flexible working conditions. Ensuring flexible options are available that balance the needs of our people with the needs of the business – in a way that is beneficial for both.

We measure the success of this strategy through our annual Employee Opinion Survey which tracks workplace satisfaction as well as key performance indicators.
