This business has such a diverse culture. Our company slogan is 'Anyone is welcome at our table'. We support the LGBTQI community, people with a disability, we have many employees that have travelled to work at this company. It is a very inclusive community. We have female store managers that work part time in order to be able to continue to provide for their families as well as spend time with them.

Coles is focused on conscious inclusion in recruitment, and always seeks to support people based on their needs. I cannot fault them at all in this area.

Child care is the biggest downfall for Coles. For the size and capability of the Coles headquarters, you would think that a daycare would be available within the office.

Coles in my experiences promotes and provides diversity through a range of different aspects- however being a large company im not sure how this reaches every Indvidual effectively

There are not many women representatives in my business unit. Ethnic minorities become less prevalent higher up

Coles is on the right track into leveling the playing field when it comes to leave and equality. We need to maintain and continue to progress in communicating this out to the rest of the teams to ensure that this is front of mind.

I don't think I am in much of a position to comment. But from where I'm standing it seems quite good.

Alot of noise about diversity. Diversity at this company focuses on women, aboriginals and LGBT, it does not include religion.

In the recruitment for the grad program, university information is not provided to assessors, preventing any bias relating to the prestige of the university a graduate studied at or their marks, which may have been impacted by their ability to study if they were having to work to support themselves.

The advertisement for the job gave me confidence in applying as I felt that my background was not a concern
