Development and learning

A defining feature of Rest’s culture is our commitment to continual learning. Our people have access to a range of development and learning opportunities including on-the-job training, peer learning, formal education and access to the LinkedIn Learning platform. Our other stand out benefits include:

  • Our Rest Way of Leading development program ensures our leaders have the skills to coach and guide their employees to deliver on our strategy and cultivate our unique culture and values.
  • Financial assistance for approved courses, paid study leave and membership of professional associations.

Diversity and inclusion

We recognise that people from different backgrounds bring diverse skills, knowledge and experiences to the workplace. We believe this diversity can help us achieve more for our members.

We also acknowledge certain demographic groups have historically been underrepresented or disadvantaged in workplaces across Australia. This awareness is at the heart of our commitment to take deliberate actions that will address these disparities and foster a truly inclusive culture for our people.

Some of our diversity, equity and inclusion focus areas include:

  • Closing our gender pay gap: We are diligently working towards our goal of gender equality. We have made significant progress reducing our pay gap in recent years. Today we have one the lowest gaps across the Financial and Insurance Services industry*.
  • Increasing gender diversity at Rest: We’ve recently set new gender diversity targets of 40% female, 40% male, and 20% any gender.
  • Creating a fairer super system for all: We’re focused on advocating for reform that will make the super system more equitable for all our members. This includes our First Nations members. Our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan maps our commitment to reconciliation and helping make the super system fairer for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This also includes steps to engage our people with First Nations cultures and demonstrating respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
