Diversity, inclusion and impact

A diverse and inclusive (D&I) environment is crucial to a successful team. Our goal is to reflect the diversity of our customers, clients, and communities within our workplace. Despite progress in gender representation, we now aim for equal advancements in ethnic representation. We are dedicated to implementing initiatives to create a workforce mirroring Australia's diverse population in the coming years. In 2022, we embarked on a company-wide D&I initiative, including implementing a D&I policy and promoting visibility through participation in Winter Pride events. We shared resources around Roll out the Rainbow. We also introduced pronouns in staff emails, endorsing gender inclusivity. Our web articles consistently educate the healthcare sector about D&I, and we have a "Diversity & Inclusion in Advertising" policy to ensure we represent our diverse population in all marketing campaigns. To promote internal equity, we started capturing data on diversity, enabling us to measure and improve equity. An annual D&I survey was implemented for Medenterprises staff to gauge our progress. This survey's findings informed our areas of strength, like women in leadership, leading to 2024 KPI implementation. In our fight against gender pay disparity, we have initiated measures to address this systemic issue, pushing for a fairer and more equal workspace. Lastly, we rolled out a flexible working policy and public holiday swap, recognising its potential to enhance employee wellbeing and productivity. Through these concerted efforts, we are committed to cultivating a workforce that mirrors Australia's diverse populace.
