Diversity at BHP

8.6
8.6 rating for Diversity, based on 50 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.
BHP has extreme emphasis on diversity. Some issues arise with filling roles due to diversity hiring requirements. Teams go without members that are needed due to diverse candidates not always being available or interested.
Graduate, Mackay
Very diverse in every aspect
Graduate, Perth
Strong commitment to diversity striving towards 50/50 men and women in the workforce and a strong indigenous workforce. Males and females get parental leave.
Graduate, Perth
I think BHP is very committed to diversity. I am a woman of Irish, Filipino and Aboriginal heritage, and I feel that there are many opportunities available to me here at BHP. I definitely don't feel like I've ever been held back or anything of that regard.
Graduate, Perth, Western Australia
Very diverse but I do not like the idea of KPI targets
Graduate, Adelaide
Multiple peer support programs including ones for LGBT+ and gender equality.
Graduate, Perth
Diversity hire quotas are in place
Graduate, Moranbah
They raise it quite often at graduate forums. People wear the Jasper inspired shoe laces. There is an awareness as support for its people regardless of sex, race, religion or political affiliation.
Graduate, Jimblebar Hub
BHP has a goal of reaching gender balance by 2025. Maternity and paternity leave are common and encouraged.
Graduate, Moranbah
If we hire for the skills required and not with prejudice, then there wouldn't be any issues. However that can bring in potential negatives towards culture
Graduate, Brisbane
Clear KPIs on diversity of employees at all levels of the business.
Graduate, Adelaide
Almost too good, company is very set on meeting KPIs meaning theres a reputation going around that 'non-minority' groups are less likely to be imployed
Graduate, Olympic Dam
I do feel that the company is dedicated to this, with a number of groups/committees being set up by the company focused on diversity and inclusion.
Midlevel, Newman
Very supporting
Graduate, Olympic Dam
They are committed to a diverse vision for sure. seemingly at the expense of capability and fundamentally undervaluing the contribution of "less diverse " personnel.
Midlevel, Perth
The company have workshops and presentation to help employees to understand the company's stand on diversity.
Graduate, Perth
The company will always choose someone who satisfies their LGBT or BIPOC KPIs before looking at job performance or value.
Graduate, Olympic Dam
0% achievement of Indigenous management target. Dots on work shirts don't make up for that.
Graduate, Winchester
In the bowen basin it is hard to hire many women now. In my team and in the office the gender split is very even.
Graduate, Brisbane
Commitment seems evident. Yet to see much evidence of the presence of the LGBT community, but the ethnic and gender balance otherwise appear to be trending in the right direction
Graduate, Olympic Dam, Roxby Downs
What does your company do to attract applicants from less privileged backgrounds?
Provide moving expenses.

Advertising on their website and on the television promotional material that directly states that BHP is supportive of diversity and promoting it further.

Nothing extra as far as I am aware

Provide leniency in hiring I believe
Graduate, Adelaide
Targeted hiring for indigenous
Graduate, Perth
It gives them a go! There are project coordinators on a 2 year teaching program that only have a high school education. This shows their commitment to supporting people who don't have the educational testimar flare/background.
Graduate, Jimblebar Hub
There are community engagement programs. Other than that, not sure.
Graduate, Moranbah
Direct promoting

Different associations/events

We have KPIs for those.
Graduate, Perth
Internship program
Graduate, Olympic Dam
The company seems to only target the two most affluent universities in Brisbane and ignores the others. I'm the only grad from my university and there are zero programs or partnerships between the company and my university.
Graduate, Winchester
Some specific pathways, particularly for indigenous and local applicants. Unsure of any other specific activities.
Graduate, Olympic Dam, Roxby Downs
Traineeships, scholarships, employment programs
Graduate, Newman/Perth
Training programs for those from less priviledged backgrounds, and a big outreach for those people.
Graduate, Roxby Downs
