Getting Started
Make diversity work for your business
Resources WIDE provides a range of research-backed tools and practical guides, designed especially for the Queensland resources sector, to help organisations like yours build a strong culture of diversity and inclusion in their workplace.
Gain an advantage
We know that diversity and inclusion are good for society. But there’s now a mountain of evidence to show that embracing the differences in your employees is good for business as well – from unlocking more innovation and creativity to improving productivity, profitability and employee retention.
Drive performance
When employees feel included and valued, they feel more engaged with their work. They are more likely to bring new perspectives to the table. To innovate and be more productive. In short, a diverse and inclusive workforce is likely to perform better. And inspire others to perform better too.
Widen your talent pool
Attracting and retaining new talent is a big challenge for the resources industry. By opening up your recruitment to attract people from diverse backgrounds your business can unlock a much wider talent pool.

“Inclusiveness is fundamental to enhancing gender parity and overall diversity, and results in financial and organisational performance”
McKinsey, 2019
