Diversity at Jacobs Australia

8.6
8.6 rating for Diversity, based on 15 reviews
Please provide further information on diversity with respect to women, ethnic minorities and LGBT. Please comment on issues such as recruitment, retention, promotion, child care, maternity leave, etc.
Jacobs seems very good in this area, I haven't seen or heard of any issues. One thing I will note is there seems to be more males in management positions than females - I am aware that Jacobs is always trying to bridge this gap however

We have our everyday respect policy, various committees presenting issues faced by minority groups in society and how we can collectively band together to help overcome these and so many presentations to spread awareness. Recruitment at the moment has decreased due to market trends in the public sector however our attrition remains above our competitor companies.

There are many diversity and inclusion seminars that teach unaware employees of the importance of these aspects within the workplace.

The company has employee-led organisations that represent women, people of colour, veterans, queer people and more. There is a positive and inclusive culture.

Networks exist and other programs. Can always do more! Was particularly impressed with the support of parents returning to work and fertility support (allowed a friend of mine to have endometriosis surgery costs covered by company).
