Benefits

  • Flexibility and hybrid working

    At Macquarie, hybrid working empowers us to work together flexibly, balancing time spent working in the office and at home. Our shift to hybrid working is an extension of our long-standing commitment to flexible working. We are a people business. We build relationships and learn from each other. Hybrid working enables us to balance the needs of our clients, colleagues and teams, taking advantage of the benefits of coming together in person and providing our people with the flexibility they need. There are plenty of opportunities for our employees to connect with their colleagues including through our Employee Network Groups such as Pride at Macquarie, Families and Carers, Asia Women's Network, Wellness and Inclusion, and Women in Tech. Other employee-led networking and community opportunities include sporting groups and networking events. Each of our business groups has different needs so expectations for hybrid working are set on a group and team basis. Formal flexible working arrangements are also available.

  • Take care of your family

    Your family is important to you, so they are important to us too. We support parents in many ways including through our parental leave policy. Primary carers are eligible for 20 weeks’ leave at full pay. There is no minimum tenure requirement meaning all employees are eligible for parental leave upon starting work at Macquarie.

Co-parents can access up to six weeks paid leave at the time of birth, adoption or custody. Other support services are also available including parents' rooms and access to a range of resources.
