Diversity and Inclusion: Commitment Statement

Great Minds is a management consulting firm with a strong commitment to supporting diversity and inclusion for our team, contractors, clients, and the people we engage with.

We respect and value differences in regard to nationality, race, culture, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, social background, disability, family or marital status, or age.

All of our people are responsible for ensuring that our culture and environment demonstrate respect for diversity and is welcoming and inclusive. Whilst our team, contractors, clients or people we engage with may have different views to our own, we nevertheless expect all within our community to treat others with dignity.

Great Minds is committed to improving diversity and inclusion outcomes through:

Great Minds strives to create a culture of respect and dignity for our team, contractors, clients, and the people we engage with, where our people are engaged, are valued for their uniqueness and feel they belong.

Great Minds seeks to reduce barriers and take proactive initiatives to welcome those who have traditionally been disadvantaged or marginalised.

Great Minds will actively develop an inclusive culture that is respectful and welcoming of diversity in order to promote social participation, increase understanding and respect for differences, and build trust and cooperation amongst our people and stakeholders.

Cultural competence is a set of behaviours, attitudes, and policies that enable people to work safely and respectfully in cross-cultural situations.

We do this by:

• bringing together people with different backgrounds and ways of thinking, which helps drive better decision-making, innovation and overall performance;
• ensuring we recruit from a broad talent pool, reflective of our customers and the communities with which we work; and
• supporting the use of flexible work arrangements at all levels to enable our people to balance their personal and professional commitments.
