The Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) has announced the list of 2016 Employers of Choice for Gender Equality, 106 organisations that recognise equal participation by women and men at all levels is good for workplace culture and performance.
Despite more rigorous criteria this year 106 organisations received the WGEA Employer of Choice for Gender Equality (EOCGE) citation, up from 90 last year and 76 in 2014. WGEA Director Libby Lyons said the growing list indicated that the business benefits and competitive advantage gained by addressing gender equality in the workplace were becoming more widely recognised.
Trends among this year’s citation holders include:
- flexibility for all employees across an organisation
- programs to support women into leadership and technical positions
- tailored parental leave and return-to-work policies
- supporting men’s caring responsibilities
- robust analysis and correction of gender pay gaps.
