Queensland Country Bank’s employees, 73% of which are women, can be proud to know that they are paving the way for future generations. Working with an organisation that not only recognises the need to have a diverse and inclusive workforce, but one that actively seeks to encourage and promote equality is inspiring but should also be the standard. From our entry level roles to the boardroom, decisions here are made by people who represent everyone from all walks of life. That is how we put our Members first.
Thank you Great Place to Work for including us on the list once again. As we celebrate International Women’s Day let’s continue to embrace change and accelerate action in gender equality.
