Diversity at Rio Tinto

Highly committed. i have attended several courses in my time with a heavy focus on this during onboarding

There is a very large push to hire more women into operational and leadership roles. There is an 18 parental leave policy.

Our business is pushing to have a more diverse workforce and I believe that can be seen through our graduate intake. We have a diverse range of ages, ethnicities, neurodiversities and sexualities.

Rio is determined to increase their diversity portfolio. I don't believe I can comment as I don't fit into diversity categories.

One of the most diverse workplaces that I have worked at.

We have a good force, but it seems forceful when they do a 50/50 intake or when people on site assume you got the job because you are a female. NEED TO CHANGE THIS IMAGE.

Large range of people, low-ish turnover

are open to all types and actively trying to improve and listen to all to better the business for all

Definitely lots of diversity and lately there's been a huge emphasis on everyday respect to everyone.

I think my team could hire more females, at the moment our team is dominated by men with only 4 females so that change would be great. It is however, very diverse in terms on ethnic minorities.

Graduate intake is very diverse, however this is generally not well reflected in leadership positions (onsite/ExCo, may be different in the office based roles). Few women, LGBTQ people, or people from minorities in leadership roles at the sites I've been at. More needs to be done to coach people of different backgrounds into leadership positions & encourage different styles of leadership.

As an indigenous employee, needs to be a focus on getting mob apt in the mining core technical roles, and not relying on unskilled labour or non-core mining roles to meet the 'quota'.

Being a female on a mine site is still tough, you still have other employees undermine your role on site. The culture still on FIFO sites are very much male dominated and is not welcoming for a new female to the industry. Makes you want to work harder to prove your worth when that shouldn't be the case. It can be isolating at times. The company still has a long way to go interims of diversity and supporting other communities on site.

Diversity is a key value in this company, some people say that they overlook qualified or the most suited candidate to fulfil quotas (make what you will out of that).

Pretty good i see everyone from all walks of life around work. mainly in the office environments

Good, the company takes care of their people offering good welfare and support people from different diversity backgrounds (on site help and offsite help)

High respect to women, wide range of workforce recruited

White ribbon approved, large scale initiatives for local recruitment, mental health, men's health, women's health, LGBT. Good policies regarding maternity and paternity leave

Rio is very passionate about maintaining a very wide diversity. I work with a well balanced mix of females to males. Ethnical/Cultural diversity is also a key player. Male parents are not criticised for taking parental leave when their partner has a child.

They try very hard to be inclusive with tragets and diversity reviews. Perhaps slightly unfair for candiates not of a minority.

Apprenticeships/traineeships and opportunities for Indigenous peoples from the area our sites are located in.

Education welfare programs in the Pilbara, hiring locals in the Pilbara

programs and traineeships delivered exclusively to aboriginal and diverse backgrounds.

Offers scholarships to them

I didn't see much presence in my community.

Specific locations can provide housing and boarding and also training and development programs.

Training programs exist for local aboriginal people.

Gives opportunities to people from outback (particularly Pilbara) to work locally). Also offer flights from Geraldton, Carnarvon and Broome to the Pilbara

Local community engagement and sponsorships

Large scale initiatives for local recruitment (particularly aboriginal community contracts, recruitment and engagement)

Rio Tinto has a number of schooling sponsorships and connections with local schools which encourages younger generations to join the company. My local site also has an indigenous trainee program where the local community are enouraged to join the workforce in a manner which meets their local customs.

Actively looks to employ and engage indigenous people into vacation, internship, work programs. Scholarships for indigenous and women available in some uni courses.

Training program design for targeting for Indigenous communities
