Women

Creating a gender-balanced workforce has been proven to foster a more inclusive and harmonious workplace, offer diverse perspectives, increase retention and attraction and improve productivity and growth. We are committed to increasing the representation of women in the workforce by providing opportunities for life.

Women in the Workforce

We support our female employees and candidates to reach their potential and overcome bias in gaining employment or achieving progression. We believe in more than work-life balance, we believe in work-life integration. Our success and initiatives are a testament to our beliefs.

We have co-designed a 4-week pre-employment program designed to provide eligible women with the support they need to stay in the workforce. The program includes aspects of interview training, workplace training, assessments, mentoring and skill building.
