Diversity at Honeywell Australia and New Zealand

Honeywell has a great mix of diversity across the business. Honeywell actively pushes its inclusion and diversity portfolio to all Honeywell staff. They have numerous communities that regularly connect with each other and reach out organising events and information sessions that all employees have access too. They also have numerous support networks for those in need.

Have not encountered any issues in regards to discrimination within the company. The employee cohort is inviting and very diverse. Honeywell is focused on recruiting the best talent, and ensure everyone needs are met during the recruitment processes, and beyond. They have a relatively high retention rate with many employees having been the company for 15, 20, 30, 40+ years.

Female engineers and leaders, different nationality background.

The company is clearly committed to diversity. There are frequent events held for awareness and support.

from what I have noticed there are multiple groups and events celebrating different diversities.

I think the recruited employees are come from all types of backgrounds, some have studied master degrees, some are still at university, others have worked multiple jobs first. Different races, religion and genders have all been hired.

There are engagement groups at each major office that organise activities inside and outside of work, some of which promote diversity.

An accepting and safe work culture is established.

Company does not discriminate based on irrelevant issues. Good diversity within the team and within the office. Recruitment process is thorough but respectful. Many people are involved in the recruitment process. General retention seems good.

Very respectful to all people of diverse backgrounds

Clear attention to diversity in hiring regarding women and ethnicity. Haven't seen any materials about LGBT. A number of female graduates have left, but reasons why can't be clear. 12-week top-up maternity leave (on top of government paid leave up to salary amount), smaller allowances for fathers/carers - 1 week paid by Honeywell, as well as government allowances. Allowance for 12 months unpaid leave.

Diversity is a big consideration in Honeywell. Being mostly engineers, there is a skew of males/females and Honeywell are doing everything they can to change this. They are also heavily invested in ethnic minorities and have even started an aboriginal program in which we support locally run aboriginal businesses as well as hiring a set number of employees with various cultural backgrounds.

The company is very committed and I see a lot of programs being advertised and invested into to promote diversity. However, some areas of the business such as field service technicians are not particularly diverse.

Diversity at the moment is reasonably poor, currently a big push to improve. Many women in positions of high power.

Honeywell has people from all over the world and is very culturally diverse. I feel that women are respected and have equal opportunity, maternity and paternity leave is offered. The reconciliation action plan (RAP) and cultural awareness sessions were great initiatives, many people use the welcome to country when beginning a meeting which is great sign of involvement/respect. However I think more can be done to generate awareness of other sectors, for example I have not seen any LGBT initiatives, but have heard it could be on the horizon.

Honeywell is very proud of their diversity initiatives. I have been involved in a number of events sparked from diversity initiatives, most recently NAIDOC week which I found very insightful and respectful.

Recruitment and retention of female graduates in some roles in the company are poor. There is a lot of diversity in terms of ethnic minorities however LGBT recruitment is not particularly strong.

They seem committed, but there isnt a lot of diversity in the work place - being a male dominated field. They work on improving it though.

Show commitment to these important issues.

No issue with racism, sexism or diversity- far more men than women as is reflective of the industry in general and not a company fault

Host NAIDOC information sessions

Expressly mentions them in advertisements.

Lots of support in place. Hiring someone is independent of their background and Honeywell support moving/relocation as needed

Different programs such as an indigenous diversity program are available.

Has a dedicated team and program to hire Indigenous Australians. Good worldwide charity contributions and programs.

Honeywell reconciliation action plan (RAP) is a step toward achieving this.

One recent initiative in the past year has been a commitment to train and attract Indigenous Australians. As far as I know, there has been no person of Indigenous background that has been employed in my office.

There is a program to help support Indigenous Australian communities to join the workforce and develop work applicable skills

Has plans and initiatives in place.

University relations. Sponsorship programs.

I don't know

They have an Aboriginal Program available for students

Indigenous develop program outreaches to those in rural and disadvantaged communities

Honeywell has initiatives to encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participation in our industry (and unfortunately AATSI groups would often correlate to coming from a less privileged background). Outside of this group I'm not sure there are any initiatives that would target such groups. (But I suspect no commercial engineering company's have such policies).

It has a few plans in place to hire disadvantaged people.

NAIDOC

Provides incentives and facilities for a diverse group of people in the society. Can be diversity in age, physical mobility, races and cultures.

Our company hires from all backgrounds. Each applicant is treated equally regardless of where they attended school or university or any other factors based on background.

There are certain cultural festivals in different time of the year. Colleagues are encouraged to bring and share cultural food to other colleagues.
