General Manager of People & Company Culture Daina Del Borrello said the mining industry was undergoing a transformation, and that Bellevue Gold wanted to be at forefront of this positive change.
“From very early on, the organisation has placed a focus on diversity inclusion and equality and strongly believes in the benefits to be gained by building a diverse workforce and valuing the contributions of all its people,” she said.
Impressively, the company was able to maintain more than 40 percent gender diversity while recruiting over 100 new employees in the last 12 months, as well as maintaining numbers above the industry average for its Indigenous employee participation – currently at 5 percent.
“It is really rewarding working in an organisation with such a strong purpose, and each day we are driven to do better,” said Del Borrello.
“As an organisation, we want to improve outcomes for our industry, our community, our people, and all our stakeholders. We believe this can only be done by providing equal opportunities for all people, provide them with a positive and safe workplace environment to be themselves and in which they can thrive.”
A strong and recently expanded paid Parental Leave Policy which supports both primary and secondary carers to take paid time off work to focus on family responsibilities is also proving a huge success.
“We have a Flexible Work Policy which enables employees to create a balance between their family caring responsibilities and their work responsibilities, which we know supports mums in particular to return to and/or stay in the workforce,” said Del Borrello.
“When we talk about diversity at Bellevue, we refer to all the characteristics that make individuals different from each other, including attributes such as religion, race, ethnicity, language, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and age.”
“We seek to build an organisation reflecting diversity in the general population.”
