Diversity at John Holland

They encourage women in construction and support female contribution - think its still an area the industry as a whole can do better in embracing; I see it our role as females to show the industry our impact and importance

Very high

Very good diversity as they treat everyone same and respect as they are.

Very good female to male ratio for the industry. A lot of emphasis is placed on improving diversity. Plenty of educating and celebrating minorities.

We have a number of policies and programs to achieve a 35% women split in senior roles by 2025. The Workplay program that has recently been announced is one of these, which will encourage female AFL players to join John Holland in further employment outside of Football. John Holland has a company-wide Pride network that hosts a range of events and supports days such as 'Wear it Purple' Day. We have equal parental leave for both male and female employees, male employees are encouraged to take this opportunity just as much as female employees.

The company has a clear desire to employ a diverse workforce and celebrate their differences.

I was expecting when I first met my team, that there would not be many women around however I was pleasantly surprised that 50% of my team are women in engineering. I think John Holland is really making an effort in recruiting women and respecting them. I find that the staff here are quite diverse and there is an LGBT group active in the workplace that promote events.

Recruitment quotas are applied to meet diversity targets.

They are very committed but may go too far and begin to discriminate other parties.

I do not know much about this topic, but I think the company is open to the LGBT community.

Some work is being done to address these aspects, however more can be done to accommodate this, especially in pressure situations such as on-site teams with strict deadlines.

Supports LGBT.

Have some remarkable day.

They actively seek out people from disadvantaged backgrounds and work with them to determine what role would be suited to them and what training they would need.

We have a Career Seekers program that takes underprivileged and minority groups and trains them to join the John Holland workforce. These employees are supported right across the business.

I found out that the company has programs that reach out to disadvantaged schools and talk about potential careers as well as there are programs for refugees that I do not know too much about.
