Diversity and inclusion within EPIC
EPIC employs hundreds of staff across across our footprint, and we always lead by example with our hiring practices. We aim to exceed the industry standards of diversity and inclusion to demonstrate that diversity is good for everyone.
How does EPIC measure up?
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (2012), approximately 9.3% of Australian workers have a disability. In the health care and social assistance sector, that number rises to 12.3%. With one in five Australians living with disability, EPIC is proud to be above the industry average in levelling the playing field for people with disability.
EPIC is also proud that the number of women working within our team is 13 percentage points higher than the national average: 59% compared with 46.2%.
Diversity and inclusion empowers us to be innovative, access the best talent and deliver thoughtful solutions for our customers. All of us at EPIC, from the board room to the front line, benefit from the different perspectives, life experiences, knowledge and skills that come from diversity.
