ANZ's focus on developing its People and Culture has created the most engaged banking workforce in Australia and New Zealand and a strategic advantage that is difficult for others to replicate.

  • Our Lost Time Injury Frequency (LTIFR) rate decreased by 21% from 3.8 to 3.0 in Australia. In New Zealand, LTIFR went from 3.6 to 1.6, a 56% reduction. LTIFR is a standard measure to determine the effectiveness of our Occupational Health and Safety programs.
  • Our people are more motivated than ever to deliver their best for ANZ. 87% of staff participated in our annual Engagement and Culture survey. Employee Engagement increased from 60% to 64%, well ahead of the Australiasian financial services sector benchmark of 58%.
  • The percentage of females in executive positions increased from 20% in September 2006 to 22% at the end of September 2007, however we did not achieve our target of 24%.
  • We have employed 35 Indigenous School Based Trainees including 8 in metropolitan Sydney and the remainder in rural New South Wales and Western Australia. We also announced significant Indigenous employment targets as part of our Reconciliation Action Plan.
  • ANZ was recognised as an Employer of Choice for Women by EOWA for the sixth consecutive year.
