Social Inclusion

At Programmed, we see our inclusive and diverse culture as a strength. One of our four corporate values is Diversity, Inclusion and Equality.

In meeting our commitment, we build a diverse workforce that is reflective of the communities in which we operate, and support procurement activities that achieve positive and sustainable outcomes for our communities.

We facilitate the growth of inclusion and equality across our workforce through four integrated strategies across our stakeholder groups:

  • Customer – We provide a safe and supportive environment to grow our equality portfolio that allows access to a diverse employment model for customers
  • Employment – We develop equitable recruitment campaigns and opportunities for engagement that attract and support individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds
  • Procurement – We prioritise the custom of local suppliers and vendors, recognising that it makes good business and economic sense to deliver value for money in the regions in which we work
  • Community – We drive social outcomes and proactively engage with the communities in which we work through partnerships, volunteering and pro-bono support to deliver on this.

Youth Interchange

At Programmed, we know that engaging with youth and providing them with opportunities is where it all starts.

We run a Youth Interchange program that aims to engage with upcoming school leavers and provide them with insights and experiences within Trades. This has opened up many opportunities for various participants and we are proud to follow them as they start on their first step towards ongoing employment.

Programmed knows the power of providing disengaged youths an insight to the possibilities that await them, and the support to guide them.
