Inclusion & Diversity
  

At The Warehouse Group we are committed to providing a work environment where every team member can bring their whole self to work. We have a business wide commitment to connect the power of inclusion with the potential of our differences. We provide an equitable work environment that enables all individuals to reach their potential, by being seen, heard and served, accounting for all different styles, needs and aspirations. 

We hire on merit, operate with fairness & promote based on talent.

Equal Opportunity


As a committed member of the Equal Employment Opportunties (EEO) initiative we actively work to eliminate barriers that can often prevent candidates from being considered for a role. We'll support you to perform at your best, we'll reward you fairly & team members have equal chances at leadership roles. 

We do this because its the right thing to do & because it makes great business sense. When everyone's included & supported, we benefit by retaining our best people & the innovation that comes from true diversity of thought.

Gender Equity

Ensuring we actively work towards closing the gender gap has been a core commitment for us over the years. TWG is incredibly proud that we've achieved 100% gender pay equity at a Group level. We have also increased women in senior leadership roles by 44% and run several bespoke programmes to encourage women's ability to thrive in the workplace.

​​​​​​​Lean In


In 2020, we launched Lean In, a peer-to-peer mentoring programme, that challenges gender bias through professional and leadership development opportunities. Lean In equips participants to navigate gender dynamics, lead authentically and gain confidence to pursue their dreams without bias or other barriers holding them back.

 Cultural Celebrations


Throughout the year, we host internal events for our team members around our stores, our distribution centres and our Store Support Office. With over 10,000 team members across the country, we feel we have a duty to not only celebrate the various cultures and ethnicities that encompass our organisation but to educate others as well. 

why work here

Parental Leave Policy

We updated our Parental Leave Policy in early 2022. This update tops up parental leave payments to full pay for the first 6 months of an eligible team members leave. This has been a key initiative to support our efforts in gender equality pay as it enables team members to focus on growing their families without the additional financial strain, provides support for an ease-back approach to returning to work, and encourages team members to continue to grow their careers with us.
