Our People

Diversity and equal opportunity

At DEXUS we actively encourage diversity in the workplace and seek to provide an environment which is free from harassment or discrimination.

We have robust policies and training in place to ensure that employees are not discriminated against as a result of their age, gender, ethnicity, culture or disability. For example, anti - discrimination training is incorporated into employee inductions and all employees conducting recruitment interviews are trained in Equal Employment Opportunity recruitment principles.

        

 

Case Study: Creating a flexible work environment

Creating a work environment that actively encourages work-life balance is a key objective at DEXUS. Achieving a balance can be challenging and we believe it is our responsibility to provide support to our employees to achieve this.

The results of our annual Employee Opinion Survey confirm that our employees are seeking various forms of flexibility within the workplace to allow them to meet both work and personal commitments.

As per last year, we reviewed the breakdown of our workforce in terms of full-time, part-time, contract and casual. In 2008/09 we extended the analysis to review the types of flexible working arrangements enjoyed by our people and found that 30.1% had taken advantage of such arrangements during the year, the most popular being study leave.
