Cultural & Linguistic Diversity at Telstra

The inclusion of culturally and linguistically diverse people is important to Telstra. Their people are from diverse ethnic backgrounds, nationalities, languages, traditions, societal structures and religions. Together they bring diverse experiences and perspectives to the organisation.

They actively seek input from their employees of different backgrounds, cultures and nationalities on things like new policies, product development and customer service.

Telstra has six employee networks where you can build relationships and support one another. MOSAIC is the name their CALD network has chosen, to represent their rich diversity. It’s a group where people from all over the world can connect and create an environment that’s inclusive and supportive. By driving diversity awareness within Telstra, they create a place where everyone can truly be themselves.
