PEOPLE
KLES is committed to creating a fair, diverse and inclusive workplace that supports us in attracting and retaining talent.
Diversity and inclusion
Our Diversity and Inclusion Policy is our commitment to create and maintain a work environment that values diversity of thought and experience, and where each person’s unique differences are recognised and valued.
We embrace the diversity of our people and know that creating an inclusive and diverse workplace is more than a moral or social obligation, it’s good for business.
We recognise the potential for diversity to lead to improved organisational performance. To help achieve this, we are:
raising awareness and have set diversity targets for our workforce
focusing on building a pipeline of female and Indigenous talent
reviewing any gender bias throughout our recruitment and selection process
analysing female turnover and experiences.
While we are placing a great deal of emphasis on improving our diversity, we recognise achieving our targeted outcomes requires an ongoing focus.
We have set the tone at the top with female representation on our Board, and have created a Diversity and Inclusion Committee to work across the business identifying areas where we can improve to assist in attracting and retaining a diverse workforce.
