Diversity at Woodside Energy

Many groups are active within the company from a diversity point of view - LGBT, Women in STEM, etc. Even in male dominated environments (offshore facilities etc) the vibe is still very welcoming and positive.

Woodside engineered the first LGBTI Company sponsored community in Australia in 2016.It is very supportive with many inclusion and diversity committees throughout the company.

We have 3 main diversity groups at Woodside. One for Women, one for LGBTI inclusion & one for Indigenous inclusion. They are all active and all employees are encouraged to join at least 1. Woodside are driving change and pushing boundaries when it comes to diversity.

Community groups exists for gender, LGBTI+ and indigenous Australians. Inclusion and diversity focal points are also present in every function. Overall employee engagement and buy-in is quite good. Company policy wise, all policies are gender neutral (e.g. parental leave available for both primary and secondary parent), expressing rooms are present throughout building.

There is a large focus on supporting indigenous communities throughout Australia.

STEM in schools program whereby we go to schools all over Perth and encourage kids to take on STEM careers.
