Woolworths is committed to diversity in the workplace that reflect the local communities within which we operate and a work environment that ensures equal opportunity for all. Having a variety of people with different approaches and ideas makes business sense and for a more vibrant and fun work environment within our common purpose we encourage people to let their individualism shine through.
Within our organisation we recognise diversity and its value to the organisation and actively create opportunities for employees to use their knowledge, skills and abilities. We vigilantly monitor our processes, policies and procedures against practices that discriminate or exclude employees from fully participating in the workplace.
Diversity within our workforce, vendor relationships and customer base is important to Woolworths. Our philosophy is intended to ensure that appreciation for the unique characteristics and strengths of every individual is pervasive at every level of the company.
In addition to being the right thing to do, having a diverse workforce is a distinct business advantage. We are committed to providing an environment where everyone can expect to be treated equally with dignity and respect.
We believe that all of our employees are entitled to work in a safe, enjoyable and fair environment regardless of their age, education, gender, intellectual and physical ability, primary language, race and culture, religion, sexual orientation, physical appearance or socio-economic backgrounds.
Woolworths is a major supporter and a partner in the Harmony Day Program. The Living in Harmony partnerships explore ways of improving social cohesion, tackling racism and generating better understanding, respect and cooperation among Australians of all backgrounds.
Harmony Day occurs on 21st March each year and highlights the importance of community harmony and connecting people in our diverse society. It is now Australia's largest national multicultural event.
We welcome applications from a diverse range of candidates and once people join our organisation they progress purely on merit.
There are many diverse groups that make up our organisation, and every effort is made to increase the employment level of these groups to gain better representation in the overall workforce.
Disability Employment
Woolworths encourages and supports the employment of people with a disability. If you have a disability or you work for an agency representing a potential employee with a disability, please refer to our National Diversity partner contact list below.
Our Diversity Partner will discuss your preferences and register eligible candidates who will be considered for vacancies within Woolworths Limited across all our brands for current or future opportunities.
This service has been developed to assist candidates that have a permanent disability, who are considered to have an employment restriction due to their disability and may require an alternative method of consideration for recruitment.
