Honeywell Technologies

Honeywell was founded over a century ago and today works in some of the most critical areas of technology, from flight control systems used in aircraft to smart home technologies, advanced automation solutions and cybersecurity. In Australia and New Zealand, Honeywell Technologies operates with a focus on creating smarter, safer and more sustainable environments, and is involved in projects that align with national priorities such as renewable energy, smart city technologies and improved safety regulations. Our work in the Pacific spans smart building technologies that improve energy efficiency, advanced safety equipment and systems for industry, sophisticated software solutions for manufacturing and logistics, and renewable energy projects including wind and solar power integration. Integrity and ethics, supported by the cornerstones of safety, inclusion and diversity, and workplace respect, underlie every aspect of our operations.

Inclusion and diversity are integral to our culture. Our efforts include empowering women through mentorship programs, training, leadership development and networking, and we partner with organisations working to strengthen women's presence in STEM, among them Robogals, Engineering Aid Australia, Puhoro STEMM Academy, Glow Up Careers, Women in Aviation and Pride in Diversity. In Australia, we acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we operate and recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first Australians and custodians of the oldest living culture in the world; our Reconciliation Action Plan sets out specific, measurable actions covering cultural understanding, employment and development opportunities, and business practices that contribute to reconciliation. In New Zealand, Māori are the tangata whenua, and te reo Māori and Māori culture are central to Aotearoa's identity, something we celebrate through our inclusion and diversity focus and our engagement with Māori. Our employee networks are open to all and participation is voluntary. The Pacific chapter of the Honeywell Women's Employee Network, WE Connect, spans Australia and New Zealand and supports women with networking, career planning, mentorship, learning and development, and visibility of other women's journeys, using technology to stay connected across a region where we are widely dispersed.

We support a range of early career pathways in the Pacific, including internships, traineeships, cadetships, apprenticeships and our Graduate Program, which gives recent graduates hands-on experience on real projects across our businesses. We partner with student societies at universities including Monash, UNSW, the University of Auckland, the University of Sydney and QUT, offering targeted internships during degrees and attending on-campus events so students can connect with industry professionals. For all employees, development runs from day one through online training via the Honeywell Learning Hub and Honeywell Accelerator, a partnership with Udemy, instructor-led training, mentorship and leadership programs, 360-degree feedback, individual development plans and ongoing talent review and succession planning. ASPIRE, our cross-business, cross-functional and cross-country women's leadership program, builds leadership capability across Asia Pacific through self-discovery, skills development, allyship, networking and community engagement.

Our benefits support mental, physical, financial and social wellbeing: private health insurance through Bupa in Australia and Southern Cross in New Zealand, free flu shots and health checks, an Employee Assistance Program offering confidential counselling, super provider resources for financial literacy, and a Benefits Plus program with discounts at over 600 retailers. Policies include a hybrid model with up to two days a week from home for eligible employees, flexible working hours, time off in lieu, a right to reasonably disconnect outside agreed hours, and leave provisions covering parental leave for all employees regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation with flexible options and provisions for pre-adoption, adoption, assisted reproduction and surrogacy, plus personal and carer's leave, paid family and domestic violence leave, compassionate leave, and military, community service and jury duty leave. On sustainability, we are targeting carbon neutrality in our operations by 2035, investing in technologies that reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency such as advanced building management and smart energy systems, and working on waste reduction, sustainable sourcing and water efficiency across our operations and products.
