Diversity, equity and inclusion
Pawsey is invested to build a safe and welcoming culture where people can bring their whole selves to work. We believe if we embrace the increasingly diverse world around us we can deliver scientific innovations that drive better outcomes for our people and stakeholders by advancing and championing diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Valuing and enabling difference empowers our people, unlocking our potential to innovate and share the future for our researchers, regionally and internationally. Our success rests on our ability to bring out the best from a thriving culture, and in doing so we believe in, and respect, the power of diverse perspectives and learn from the uniqueness of our people.
Diversity and inclusion is about our individual differences and valuing the knowledge, skills and perspectives people bring to the workplace. Pawsey considers diversity to broadly cover characteristics such as age, gender, physical abilities, disability, nationality, cultural background and ethnicity, marital, family or relationship status, religious beliefs, sexual orientation and gender identity.
An inclusive culture is one where everyone feels respected and valued and is able to fully contribute their unique abilities, qualities, skills and perspectives. It is inclusion that promotes diversity of thought and allows us to drive innovation, helps engage our people, builds productivity and reduces conduct risk for the benefit of our customers, organisational performance and business outcomes.
