Diversity at Commonwealth Bank

From what I've seen, there are many events to promote inclusiveness, many clubs/initiatives, and plenty of programs to help parents and other groups.

I sit on a Diversity & Inclusion council and see the amazing work in supporting diversity and inclusion. The benefits are great!

Many internal groups that are dedicated to diversity and constantly strive to improve. Flexible working arrangements are encouraged. Encouraged to be yourself.

Recently the diversity & inclusion groups at CBA have been a big letdown. Cut of funding and head(s) of D&I have resulted in a subpar inclusion group experience in my opinion.

I have been part of my companies LGBT+ network and have helped organize events through 2019 that have been open to staff and the general public to attend and learn about the nuances of the LGBT+ community such as intersectionality, bias, relationships, families and rights.

Strong commitment to pushing diversity within the company on all fronts.

The company is very diverse and takes it commitment to diversity very seriously. There are amazing cultural events for the major holidays of different cultures.

The company says there is a focus on diversity, but I don't really see it reflected in the workplace. In development teams, there is definitely only a small minority of women, and not much ethnic diversity (mostly Indian & Asian). However, there are official groups within the company who support diversity (one for each 'type'). I can't speak for the issues mentioned in the question though.

There are several internal groups that focus on individual areas such as gender diversity, LGBT, older employees etc. Maternity is 6 months paid leave and up to 6 months unpaid leave. Pat leave is 2 months.

There are a lot of groups within the bank dedicated to each of these ares.

I consider our company as one of the most diverse companies

The company promotes events and programs to inform, communicate with, and recruit applicants from less privileged backgrounds. I personally went on a talk to less advantaged schools about careers in tech and banking.

They partner with organisations that sponsor individuals to apply to the company

Programs available to assist with transition to the workplace.

They support community groups that represent people from diverse backgrounds.

They try to reach out explicitly to Aboriginal and Torres Islander peoples and encourage them to apply for special internships. They also do amazing volunteer work with children in high school that I have personally taken part in multiple times.

Our company has few special programs such as the Indigenous program offering opportunities for Indigenous students
