Taking action to support the needs of all our colleagues 

Veolia is taking steps to create a diverse and inclusive workplace and this is something we can all be proud of. From the launch of our Diversity and Inclusion Council to working with specialist recruiters to employ assisted workers, and releasing a dedicated disability e-learning course, we have created many opportunities for increased participation and learning.

It's important we continue to support the needs of all our colleagues. Our own Jacqualine Raad, Veolia’s Learning and Development Consultant in Sydney, shares her own personal journey with disability and some practical inclusion tips.
