People are the heart of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, which is why we are committed to creating an inclusive and accessible workplace for all. Inviting diversity to the decision-making table deepens our collective experience, enriches our problem-solving capability, and creates greater opportunities to grow.
40:40:20 representation across all levels of the organisation by 2025 is what we’re working towards. That’s 40% females, 40% males and 20% of any gender identity. Whilst we’ve made significant progress, there’s still more to do, and we’re focusing on addressing key drivers, including workforce composition and gender distribution.
You can view our measurable objectives, approved by the Board, on our Corporate Governance website Governance | Bendigo and Adelaide Bank (bendigoadelaide.com.au).
We're investing in our talented women across our workforce to reach their potential. Our Women in Leadership Program builds our pipeline for emerging talent. Our Women in Leadership Community of Practice group on Viva Engage creates a safe space for Alumni to share experiences and mentor others.
Our Women at BEN forum is BEN’s employee-led group dedicated to driving gender equality. Our Employee Network Groups play an important role in driving an inclusive culture and delivering on our Diversity and Inclusion commitments.
We believe in providing equal career opportunities for everyone, regardless of gender. Our recruitment practices are inclusive, ensure gender diversity in interview processes and selection decisions and support unique requirements that may be requested by people working with disability. We partner with WORK180 and are endorsed by them as an Employer for Women.
Whether you are pregnant, the partner of someone who is pregnant, adopting a child, or having a child placed with you in long term foster care, we recognise the significance of growing a family and will support you from the time you announce your parental leave needs to the day you return to work.
We’re proud members of WIBF, a not-for-profit membership association dedicated to boosting the presence of women in leadership roles within the banking and finance sector.
In accordance with the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012, BEN publicly reports to WGEA annually. Our latest report can be viewed on our Corporate Governance site Governance | Bendigo and Adelaide Bank (bendigoadelaide.com.au)
