Transdev leads the way with inclusive workplace of choice recognition

Transdev says the AWEI accreditation is proof Transdev is leading the way as an inclusive operator

Operator Transdev is the only multi-modal transport company to be recognised with an Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI) Bronze Tier Status accreditation as recognition for its pride in diversity and inclusivity.

The AWEI recognition is the definitive best-practice national benchmark for workplace inclusion of LGBTQIA+. Transdev scored a 90 per cent for its inclusivity rating. 

Transdev CEO Brian Brennan says he’s proud Transdev was recognised as welcoming of all sexualities, gender identities or intersex status. 

“Inclusivity is one of Transdev’s key sustainability pillars. We are a workplace that is fair, safe and inclusive of all people regardless how they identify,” Brennan says. 

“We embrace and celebrate difference as we seek greater advancement of the inclusion of LGBTQIA+ staff.”

Transdev Head of Diversity Equity & Inclusion Sam Collins says Transdev would continue to improve its inclusivity targeting AWEI Silver accreditation by mid 2024. 

“We continue to make our workplaces more inclusive and welcoming for everyone,” Collins says. 

“It’s important we encourage all our people to feel culturally safe to bring their whole selves to work and we’ll have more exciting news. 

“This year we’ll be expanding our ally network, training opportunities and looking to do more with our partners. 

“We’ll have more news on that front as part of Wear It Purple Day on August 25.” 

Some of Transdev’s actions to improve diversity and inclusion has included:

  • Updating Transdev’s People & Culture policies and procedures to be inclusive of all sexualities, genders and cultures, including smart traveller travel policy, parental leave and language guides
  • Making LGBTQIA+ inclusion and ally training, resources and events available to all team members
  • Growing our Transdev Pride Network since 2019 and our partnerships like Pride in Diversity (PID) the national support program for LGBTQIA+ workplace inclusion that governs the AWEI,
  • Celebrating International Pride Month, Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) and Wear It Purple Day.
