Our approach

Valuing mature workers

At ANZ we aim to create a culture where mature aged workers and their experience are valued. We want to retain skills and experience, increase our talent pool, and build a workforce that reflects our customers and the community.

We were the first Australian company to introduce a Career Extension Policy guaranteeing part-time work for employees aged 55 and over, and in 2006, we were recognised as a mature age champion by the Federal Government.

Career Extension Program

We recognise that the traditional approach to retirement - stopping full-time work to become a full-time retiree - may not be the right solution for everyone. Drawing flexibility options available to all staff, we have identified three options to assist mature age lifestyle decisions:

• Rejuvenate your career with flexible leave options such as lifestyle leave, flexible long service leave and career breaks
• Rebalance  your work to suit your life with options such as job sharing, working offsite, and working part-time or on a cyclical or seasonal basis
• Reshape your career, taking a gradual approach to retirement and changing pace through exploring different roles.
