Universities are uniquely placed to embed gender equality in our social and employment systems, and yet this influence is poorly understood and used only in a scattershot fashion. We explore how universities can better use their place in the world to help ensure that gender equality becomes a norm in both our social and employment landscapes.
A key enabler of any activities that address diversity and inclusion is the explicit support of senior leaders, and none is more important than that of the CEO. When your organisation first starts to address barriers to diversity and inclusion, there is likely to be some resistance from people who are either comfortable with the way things are or don’t see any problem. Sometimes a CEO can fall into one of these camps.
Every year the WGEA also produces Competitor Analysis Benchmark Reports which are individual and customised benchmark reports for each reporting organisation. The reports draw from data from around 5,000 non-public organisations who employ 100 or more people in Australia. The benchmark reports allow individual organisations to see how they are performing on the WGEAs Gender Equality Indicators (GEIs) in relation to all organisations in their industry or sector or across all reporting organisations.
