Highlights for the year include:
•
•
Increasing the overall percentage of women
in the company from 17 to 19 percent and
in the area of frontline operational roles
from 1.1 to 9.6 percent in the Hunter Valley.
To increase the percentage of females in
frontline operational roles we obtained an
exemption from the NSW Anti-Discrimination
Board which allowed us to target female
recruits for specific roles within NSW until July
2017. Our first campaign aimed at women in the
Hunter Valley yielded over 900 applications
with 11 candidates successfully appointed and
now working within our teams at Maitland,
Port Waratah, Scone and Muswellbrook.
We employ over 1,200 people across
New South Wales, Queensland, South
Australia and Victoria, and and we
recognise that it’s our people that
make our business. We’re committed
to providing the right environment,
leadership, skills and training to ensure
every one of our people can do their
job safely, doing what we need to do
to engage them and enable them to
do their jobs in a productive and safe
manner. It’s critical to our future success.
