Our Gender Equality ambition
nbn offers fair, equitable and inclusive opportunities for our people to thrive and succeed professionally, regardless of gender.
Reaching gender parity within our workforce will allow nbn and the services we offer to excel even further.
Our goal is to bring more gender diverse voices into our company and industry through mentoring, graduate programs, traineeships, leadership and career opportunities focused on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Targets and initiatives
We have set gender equity goals through company-wide targets and initiatives including:
- working towards 40 per cent female representation in senior management roles
- continuing our focus on achieving and maintaining gender pay equity
- building gender-balanced recruitment shortlists and interview panels when hiring new employees
- establishing employee reference groups to support everyone's professional development, career progression and access to the best support at nbn
- empowering our employee network, 'nbn® Equals', in leading various programs and events to support our Gender Equity approach
- providing inclusive flexible work options, training, practices and support for all our people at nbn
