Diversity at WSP Australia

Very limited Aboriginal presence. LGBT is not very openly discussed so I cannot comment.

Diversity Council, mostly focused on gender equality. Push for women in senior positions

We actively try to use ethnic minorities as suppliers. Gender issues are discussed regularly and the company stance on LGBT and respect to all is clear. There appears to be no bias as to who is/isn't recruited, however efforts are being made to increase indigenous population within the company.

Awareness and efforts towards reducing sexual and racial discrimination

Highly committed, but better than that it's mostly a non-issue and everyone gets a fair go. I understand from being around other colleagues that things like balancing a family and work are quite possible, though there are probably still improvements that could be made.

It seems everyone is treated as an equal

Don't see any issue with this. I believe currently quite good.

There are some great diversity initiatives within the company, however these don't always translate to every office. The company's maternity leave policy is good. Unsure of paternity leave arrangements.

It's about 50/50 with males to females in the Environment sector, there is a diverse range of ethnicities and everyone is welcoming.

Diversity seems sufficient

Seem to be standard diversity goals

very good.

No one is discriminated against as such, but there is always room for improvement

I believe WSP is extremely welcoming and the diversity council really helps with engagement and knowledge.

Depends on the team

Female diversity marketing campaign has run for 12 months, and i think ethnic minorities are always supported including ATSI. LGBT community acceptance is increasing but still quite a traditional firm in response to this.

I'm not a part of one of those groups but from the outside it appears that they have been thought of.

I do not feel being singled out or excluded in any form

WSP has a good balance between men and woman and I feel the hiring standard is excellent.

The company prides itself on diversity.

Hold special events directed at minority groups. Support those groups.

Holds a number of morning teas and seminars dedicated to promoting diversity

They support a lot of programs

Brings in interns from aboriginal background and low socioeconomic areas.

We are actively involved in helping communities and bringing people in

Offer internships as part of the Indigenous Internship Program. This means that jobs can be provided based purely off merit.
