Workplace diversity and inclusion

At State Growth our vision is a safe, inclusive, equal, respectful and representative workplace.  A diverse and inclusive workplace, plus a culture of belonging, are needed to achieve this vision and bring about the rewards of stronger engagement, productivity, and performance. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone can be themselves at work.

Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategy 2022-25, released in March 2022 outlines our commitment to and strategic direction for achieving our vision and is supported by annual Action Plans. The Action Plan 2024 outlines the actions we will take to bring the vision and strategy to life.

We are proud of our achievements.  Read about our achievements in the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Highlights 2022 and Diversity Equity and Inclusion Highlights 2023.

We are excited to continue to build diversity, equity and inclusion into the way we do business, and, through the Strategy and Action Plan have a clear path ahead of us.

We review our actions annually and continue to consult and adjust our priorities as needed.

As part of our commitment, State Growth is:

• implementing the Our Watch Workplace Equality and Respect Standards, which place gender equality and respect at the heart of our workplace
• recognising the talent of, and increasing employment opportunities for people with disability by  implementing key actions from the JobAccess Recruitment Review
• participating in and promoting targeted employment initiatives, such as the Tasmanian State Service Aboriginal Employment portal, youth employment programs, and the Disability Employment Portal
• supporting our employees by participating in key events such as the TasPride Parade, International Women’s Day, International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, and NAIDOC week.

In doing this work we recognise the cultural practices and knowledge of Tasmanian Aboriginal people and the Tasmanian Aboriginal land on which we work, paying our respects to elders, past and present.
