Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion at Crown
Crown Resorts is one of Australia’s leading casino operators, with a rich history that spans over three decades. Since its inception, the company has been committed to creating an inclusive environment for all patrons, site regardless of their background, culture, or socio-economic status. As we celebrate the diversity that makes our communities so vibrant and unique, Crown continues to lead the way in promoting inclusivity and respect within the gaming industry.
Diversity at the Heart of Our Business
At Crown Resorts, we believe that diversity is not just a buzzword; it’s a core value that underpins everything we do. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels welcome, valued, and respected. This philosophy extends far beyond our gaming floors, permeating every aspect of our operations, from hiring practices to community engagement initiatives.
One of the key ways we promote diversity is through our recruitment processes. Crown actively seeks out candidates from diverse backgrounds, including Indigenous Australians, people with disabilities, and those from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. We believe that this not only reflects the rich tapestry of Australian society but also brings unique perspectives and skills to our workforce.
Inclusive Gaming Experiences
Our commitment to diversity is reflected in every aspect of our gaming operations. From the design of our facilities to the services we offer, we strive to create an environment where everyone feels comfortable and included. This includes:
- Multilingual Services : Crown offers a range of multilingual services, including staff who speak languages such as Mandarin, Cantonese, and Italian. We also provide translated gaming materials and support for patrons with limited English proficiency.
