Success knows no gender
Diversity is our strength, and we demonstrate it every day: At Austrian Post, we work with 22,000 dedicated people from over 100 nations. Equal opportunities for everyone are a given for us, and we put this into practice each and every day!
A good third of our employees are women, and to further increase this proportion, we have devised several initiatives because gender equality is a fundamental principle for us.
Our Gender Balance Initiative places equal opportunities at its core. We strive to support and promote all employees in our organisation so they can realise their full potential and actively contribute to shaping our future.
We foster a culture of openness and inclusion because we believe that everyone deserves fair chances. This is how we create clear opportunities for personal growth, regardless of gender, age, and background. Together, we bring together what belongs together.
What we do for a family-friendly and fair working environment:
1) We bring fairness and opportunities together:
- We offer transparent development prospects, regardless of gender.
- A gender-sensitive application process is standard for us.
- A gender-inclusive language standard is deeply embedded in our culture.
- Internal networks, focusing on "women in leadership" or "work-family balance," encourage experience exchange and co-creation.
- To better support work-life balance, we offer part-time opportunities and professional leave management.
- Our job-sharing offers make leadership positions possible even part-time.
2) We bring work and family together:
As a family-friendly employer, your work-life balance is a real concern for us. That’s why we support our employees during all types of leave with active leave management. By addressing this topic together, we can cater to personal wishes and flexibly support individual preferences.
- As part of our leave management, we provide advice on maternity and paternity leave, adoption and foster parent leave, paternity month, family time, as well as re-entry and parental part-time work.
- At our company headquarters, we offer parent-child offices and event-based childcare.
- Hybrid working in central areas is an essential part of our corporate culture.
- We offer a child bonus for active employees.
- Numerous attractive offers for children are available through our in-house initiative "Postler.Kids".
- Through our association "Post Sozial," we implement holiday and vacation offers for employees and their children.
- For our commitment to work-family balance, we have been certified with the state-recognised "Family and Work" quality seal.
3) We bring careers and opportunities together:
We promote a balanced and fair working world and actively ensure that all our employees receive fair (CPD) opportunities.
Therefore, we provide exciting training and education offers for our employees.
From female empowerment programmes and unconscious bias training to workshops on generational justice – we offer numerous perspectives for professional development, ensuring everyone gets the best opportunities!
For five years in a row, we have been recognised by the Women's Career Index as one of the top 10 companies for women's career advancement.
4) We bring people and topics together:
The seven network groups initiated jointly with our employees provide space for employees from all areas and functions to exchange ideas on various topics, develop new approaches independently, and actively shape the working world of tomorrow.
Our groups are divided into the following areas:
- Women in leadership
- Work-family balance
- Ethnicity and background
- Accessibility
- LGBTIQA+
- Religion and worldview
- Age & background
Equal opportunities for all are a given for us, and lived diversity is standard practice. We believe that we are only strong together!
