Diversity and social inclusion

Print

Diversity and social inclusion at UGL refers to the mix of different backgrounds, cultures, values, skills, knowledge, talents, thoughts and experiences that create our people excellence, uniqueness, and organisation fabric.

We are committed to building a workplace environment of fairness, inclusivity and transparency where every UGL employee feels valued, is provided with the tools to be successful, and given opportunities to progress.

We have five key pillars we feel are important to enrich us as a company and as individuals. Our employees passionately drive these initiatives within the business making sure everyone at UGL feels like they belong.

Women@UGL

Women@UGL brings together all the available initiatives driving the female agenda at UGL under one strategic pillar to provide a consistent platform to elevate women across UGL.

Under this banner, we have a number of initiatives including:

Targeted programs like our Emerging Female Leaders Program - supporting female leaders to take the next step, we explore and determine your aspirational career goals, expand your leadership skills and build your personal brand to unleash your full potential.
Networking events held across the business with various themes to promote engagement.

Female driven events celebrating International Women’s Day and Women in Engineering Day.

Indigenous participation

UGL continues to focus on the engagement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees and communities. Our internal Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander networking group is a place where our employees can build relationships, connect, support and share experiences. It also advises the business on a range of partners and initiatives to support community groups and improve engagement outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

We are also proud to have committed to a 2022-2025 Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), UGL’s fourth RAP. Find out more and read our RAP.

Veterans

The Veteran’s network brings together our veterans and provides a place to share experiences and discuss initiatives which will make UGL a great place to work for current and future veteran employees.
