Diversity

HSBC is the world's local bank with a workforce that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve.

Inclusion involves everyone at HSBC, both internally and externally towards our clients and suppliers, as we are all responsible for removing the barriers that exclude people.

We want people to feel heard, feel their opinions count, know their concerns will be attended to, and to know they work in a culture where discrimination and harassment are not tolerated.

We believe that it is our commitment to inclusion that drives our success as a global organisation.

In Australia, HSBC has a number of initiatives and measures in place to reduce barriers in the workplace to build an inclusive working environment. These include:

• Primary and secondary carer leave
• Childcare placement and support services
• Flexible working policies
• Internal mentoring programs
• Diversity training for people leaders

HSBC Australia was recognised as Employer of Choice for Women in 2010 for the second consecutive year.

Our organisation's success has been built on many different working skills across the globe and we are eager to support the unique contribution that each individual brings.
