Diversity & Inclusion
CIMIC Group is a collaboration of around 25,500 individuals in around 20 countries. Each person brings their own story, experience and perspective to their job and this diversity of thought, capability and skill makes our business stronger.
Our differences, supported by inclusive and respectful workplaces where everyone can contribute their best, significantly expand our potential to innovate and improve operational performance, productivity and safety.
We recognise these advantages are strongest when our workforces reflect the diverse communities in which we work; and these diverse communities provide a valuable source of talent.
CIMIC Group respects the dignity, human rights and wellbeing of all our people, and the communities in which we operate. We also acknowledge and respect the connection of Indigenous peoples to the land.
We reject any form of modern slavery, including human trafficking, forced or bonded labour and unlawful child labour, and undertake due diligence activities to identify, address, mitigate and prevent human rights impacts from our operations and supply chain through our operational and procurement practices, and contractual arrangements.
Our Code of Conduct, Human Rights Policy, and other policies contain our commitment to human rights.
We respect the rights of our employees to freely associate and collectively bargain. We aim to fairly, consultatively and constructively engage with workers, union representatives and regulators.
We don’t tolerate any form of bullying, harassment, discrimination or vilification. We actively develop supportive workplaces with initiatives including extended paid parental leave, a decentralised approach to flexible working and outstanding employee benefits.
Our Diversity and Inclusion Policy aims to increase and leverage the diversity that exists across our businesses.
The policy’s four priorities include gender equality, social inclusion, Indigenous and First Nations participation, and local and national inclusion.
Gender equality
We're committed to promoting and improving female participation at CIMIC Group and achieving gender equality.
We’re improving how we attract, retain and develop women at all levels.
Regular company-wide pay equity reviews are used to proactively close pay gaps based solely on gender, supported by initiatives such as unconscious bias awareness training to empower equitable decision-making.
Social inclusion
We undertake a range of activities to raise awareness and promote inclusion including training programs in unconscious bias, equal employment opportunity, discrimination, bullying and harassment.
We also use workforce reporting to track diversity participation.
Indigenous - First Nations
With a significant base of our business operating in Australia, we have a specific focus area on opening opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to participate in our business, as well as engaging Indigenous people in other countries – an objective we share with our clients.
Local and national inclusion
Our training and talent programs develop local leaders and graduates to ensure the future workforce is reflective of the regions and countries in which we operate.
