Diversity at Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO)

8.6
8.6 rating for Diversity, based on 9 reviews
Please provide further information on diversity with respect to women, ethnic minorities and LGBT. Please comment on issues such as recruitment, retention, promotion, child care, maternity leave, etc.
AEMO culture respects diversity deeply. It's been very accommodating of people's needs and there is a decent level of diversity throughout leadership and the organization. That's not to say AEMO can't improve but it's doing a good job. I regularly see staff cutting back on days temporarily to care for new babies and children, it's part of AEMO's strong flexibility.

AEMO is a very inclusive workforce, primarily driven by the individuals who work here being open minded and respectful. Recruitment and retention are done according to skills and experience, there appear to be no biases in that respect.

There's a network of LGBT+ colleagues (and allies). Corporate events celebrating IDAHOBIT, NAIDOC week, International Women's Day, Religious Holidays, etc.

There's a lot of great initiatives with gender diversity at the moment that are emerging, and AEMO's culture is really great from a D&I perspective. Other areas like ethnicity, and disability are still emerging in AEMO's D&I initiatives, and the LGBTQIA+ community at AEMO has really established itself over the past few years.

It's great to see a good balance of women/men in management roles

I feel very comfortable within my organisation as a female. Diversity and inclusion committee has great initiatives which are listened to and implemented by the broader business and leadership team.

All female grad intake is a fantastic move. It shows a solid level of commitment, however there's still a while until AEMO has gender parity.
Graduate, Perth
It is improving with each year More presentations and workshops as well as social tea and breakfasts to discuss and honor women and LGBT culture Not too much on ethnic minorities

What does your company do to attract applicants from less privileged backgrounds?
I think by having a culture that embraces reconciliation and diversity outwardly, and a culture that is very respectful of diversity we are attracting ourselves to applicants from less privileged backgrounds.
Graduate, Brisbane
My understanding is that conscious effort is made to recruit from a wide-ranging cohort. We do not want to be seen as only recruitment from certain universities and would much rather recruit the best people for the job.

This is a future area to target. Currently I'm not aware of any initiatives in this vein.
