Diversity at Arup

9.6
9.6 rating for Diversity, based on 7 reviews
Please provide further information on diversity with respect to women, ethnic minorities and LGBT. Please comment on issues such as recruitment, retention, promotion, child care, maternity leave, etc.
There are clear targets around hiring and retention of women in a male dominated industry, and it makes a huge difference, with ~50-50% gender balance in the office. There is still an overrepresentation of men in management, but there are many women in key positions, my direct manager is a woman, and the co-chairs of the Australasia region are women. There is a generous amount of both maternity and paternity leave, and support for anyone to work part time/4 days a week any time they need. There is clear representation of ethnic minorities and LGBTIQA+ communities within the office, although i am not aware of specific targets around this.
