Culture at South32

good work culture

Team members have high expectations when it comes to delivery but also attaining work life balance. Often their expectation for you to have work life balance does not extend to themselves or their leaders. Often team members have young families so socialising after work can be difficult. Teamwork is encouraged and support is provided whenever needed.

In office culture can sometimes be ruled by production pressures. Outside of work culture depends on site. Some sites have great after hours cultures

Most people are very approachable and happy to help out by teaching me new things which is important to me as a learning graduate. I haven't yet been exposed to the culture outside of office hours.

My team is very sociable. On site, we will play squash 1-2 times a week with each other. Always sit together for lunch. Will sometimes catch up with each other during our off swings.

I have witnessed a great rapport both within and between teams. Everyone has been both welcoming and accommodating.

Generally, I would say it is good so far. we normally have lunch together and go for dinner together frequently. Team lunch- every Thursday Volleyball after office hours

After hours is great some colleagues attitudes are not the best. Most people are great

Everyone is very approachable Underground, members of the crew look after you and try to engage you in a variety of tasks.

Cooperative and supportive behaviour by all the staff on the ground and underground so far during work. Attended one office related after hours meet up and it was good. No complains or any reservations so far.

I like that it is very structured in the sense that you are aware who you need to speak with on certain matters. everyone that I have met has been very lovely and willing to do what is required for the company.

South32 corporate has a great vision for the company, but it hasn't necessarily translated well onto site. A lot of work needs to happen in regard to inclusivity, respect for women in the workplace, and welcoming new employees. Furthermore, there's been a lot of turnover recently due to the job market in WA, which makes it hard to stay positive and believe that this really is the best place to work. Social-wise it's OK but there aren't very many young people, which will make it difficult for any new graduates if they're not local.

I wish we had more social events but when I do get to socialise with people they are great! The people working at S32 make it great and they really are awesome.
