Nun hat die Workplace Gender Equality Agency, WGEA, Zahlen veröffentlicht, aus denen hervorgeht, dass sich die Verdienstungleichheit zwischen Männern und Frauen aber verringert hat.

A recent report by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency and the Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre highlights shifting priorities for Australians regarding workplace arrangements. Shyna Sheikh, a part-time teaching associate, discusses her perspective on how employers can offer flexibility without risking employee burnout.

For this Cheeky Half Paul & KG riff on the latest report by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, the "Employer Gender Pay Gaps Snapshot." It is both, a compelling and somewhat unsettling look at Australia's progress in reaching gender pay equity. The many interesting pieces of data lead them to ask a couple of simple questions: "What conversations are people in leadership positions actually having about the existing gender pay gap? And is it that difficult a problem to solve?"It will not surprise you to hear [spoiler alert!] they don't end up solving this conundrum. But nevertheless they firmly believe leaders have a responsibility beyond finance and economics to find a way through this intractable problem. Is it ultimately a reflection of how we actually value our people?Here are some useful links:1.  Workplace Gender Equality Agency 2.  Employer Gender Pay Gaps Snapshot We'd love to hear what you thought of this conversation.Please let us know through either of the options below.Please reach out on askus@leadershipdecanted.com or visit us at www.leadershipdecanted.comDisagree or agree with anything we've said?

The release of Australian gender pay gap data by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency has highlighted the big discrepancies in women's salaries, the absence of women in traditionally male dominated industries, and the lack of women in senior management of many major businesses. But while the release of this data has sparked a national discussion on why women are often paid less, there's more nuance to this story than what first appears. Equity expert Natasha Bradshaw breaks down what the gender pay gap data shows, and what we can expect next in light of these revelations. Hosted by Kat Clay.

Well, it seems that spies walk among us.  This week ASIO boss Mike Burgess made an extraordinary revelation.  He said his agency uncovered a sophisticated foreign interference operation, which involved a former Australian politician betraying Australia, and trying to involve a relative of a Prime Minister in the web.  So just how bad is the threat?  And why won't they tell us who this former politician is?  Plus, we already knew the average working woman is paid less than the average man. But this week, for the first time, the Workplace Gender Equality Agency revealed the median pay gaps at nearly 5000 of the country's largest companies.      Businesses from major banks to women's activewear brands have large pay gaps favouring men, while elite private schools have pay gaps favouring women. So what, if anything, can be done about it?  Today, economics reporter Rachel Clun and chief political correspondent David Crowe discuss the week in politics. Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The gender pay gap for nearly 5 million Australians has been revealed in a new publication of salaries paid by 5,000 private sector employers. - Inilabas ng Workplace Gender Equality Agency ang median gender pay gaps ng halos 5,000 Australian private-sector employers na may 100 at higit pang manggagawa.

Despite greater flexibility and more opportunities, gender equity still has some way to go. The country's gender pay gap persists, and women are still underrepresented in leadership positions according to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency. One of the ways workplaces and women themselves are trying to turn the tide, is to offer and actively engage in mentoring.In our final rerun of the most popular episodes of 2023, we revisit a conversation that aired around International Women's Day. It featured two inspirational female leaders: Tania Rishniw, Deputy Secretary of Employment and Workforce at the Department Employment and Workplace Relations, and Nina Davidson, Deputy Director-General Intelligence at the Office of National Intelligence. They discussed how mentoring can benefit women throughout their careers and what a great mentoring relationship should look like. Tania, Nina, and Caroline also talked about some of the women who inspired them, including the influential Dr Margot McCarthy, who championed women through coaching and mentoring until her recent passing in 2022. Margot was the first female national security advisor, a leader in social policy and a founder of the APS Academy.Discussed in this episode:Honesty, openness, and listening as key ingredients for good mentoringMargot McCarthy's fierce leadership and support for other womenOvercoming self-censorship as a womanEmpowering and amplifying women's voices.

It's titled Three ESG stocks worth watching and is by Grady Wulff. It's seen on moneymag.com.au. Here's some of what Mr. Wulff says about his picks. “1. Woolworths (ASX:WOW) The supermarket giant has taken significant ESG actions from both environmental and social perspectives such as replacing its petrol-fuelled delivery fleet with electric vehicles to reduce carbon emissions and the launch of Mini Woolies, a program supporting the education and skills of young Australians with disabilities… The dilution of Woolworths' association with gambling, alcohol and tobacco was a major step in achieving the company's ESG goals. Morgans recently upgraded Woolworths to a buy rating while Citi and UBS also have respective buy ratings on the supermarket giant on the back of strong FY23 results, particularly earnings growth in Australian Food. 2. Perpetual (ASX:PPT) The Perpetual Private Investment research team is accountable for the Responsible Investment related reporting and reviewing of all Perpetual Private portfolios which includes ensuring that all ESG factors are appropriately considered throughout the entire investment process… Furthermore, Perpetual offers thematic investing options that enable clients to align their portfolios with ESG elements that resonate most with their objectives. The global financial services firm is also a signatory to the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI) to incorporate ESG issues into all investment analysis and decision making. 3. Transurban Group (ASX:TCL) Operates a diversified suite of Australian toll road assets and toll roads in Northern Virginia in the United States, has also been a popular investment choice among investors and brokers for its ESG commitments. Transurban boasts ESG-related awards and recognition from the Workplace Gender Equality Agency of Australia, Equileap and the Ethibel socially responsible investment register. It's also had an MSCI ESG Rating of AAA for the past five years and it became the first ASX20 company to be validated by the Science Based Targets initiative… UBS and Macquarie both have buy ratings on Transurban and the company's shares are up 16% over the last five years. In the recent high inflationary environment companies like Transurban have been the beneficiaries of rising inflation as it has an inflation-linked revenue stream with annual escalators through toll road concessions being inflation-linked.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2023's Top 10 Ethical Banks Leading the ESG Revolution Next, I have this article on ethical banks around the world, titled 2023's Top 10 Ethical Banks Leading the ESG Revolution.

That number hasn't changed over the past twelve months – with no progress being made for the first time in nine years. In this episode, we speak to Mary Wooldridge, Director of the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, about why the pay gap is stagnating and what more Australian businesses need to do for gender equality.

The Workplace Gender Equality Agency says the pay difference between women and men remained the same last financial year. - 2021-2022年度、男女間賃金格差の問題について改善がありませんでした

Progress has stalled when it comes to the gender pay gap. The Workplace Gender Equality Agency says the pay difference between women and men remained at 22.8 per cent last financial year. That means on average women earned $26,596 dollars less than men

12/12/2022. The latest news from Australia and Ukraine, and from rest of the world. Debate rages over the Federal government's planned energy price cap in Australia. The Victoria government said symptomatic residents should test for COVID-19 before attending a Christmas or New Year party. For the first time, progress towards closing the gender pay gap in Australia has not improved. The latest data, released by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, shows the pay gap remains stuck at 22.8 per cent. The disparity in the 2021 to 2022 financial year was the same as the year before, with women paid 77 cents for every one dollar earned by men. More news: sbs.com.au/ukrainian - 12/12/2022.

In this episode of the Lazy Entrepreneur, we walk through a very different approach to managing people and reclaiming human resource management to its rightful place. The Manager of people.HR Compliance, Workplace Gender Equality Agency, Occupational Health and Safety, Personnel Management, and other HR services all fit inside the HR Department.The accountability for organising and managing people and their performance, in my opinion, needs to sit within the team and NOT HR.Performance Management, the great resignation, or even the big resignation as it is now being called, has put an enormous amount of pressure on all types of businesses to recruit and retain employees.So doing things the same as everyone else is just not going to cut it.I'm introducing the concept of the Accountability and Behaviour Solution.It's made up of 3 components.Collective Accountability and Behaviour, the Supervisor Support Solution, and Individual Agreements.We define the reason the business has succeeded that helps us to explain the Collective Accountability and BehaviourWe find agreement that supports behaviour that enables the continued success.And the key one simple shift in the definition of a supervisor's KPI to a specific behaviour of mentorship and replacing themselves over time.This approach feels counter intuitive, but in fact, it's how successful businesses have created psychological safety to become an employer of choice.Stephen Sandor CEO Inspiring BusinessInspiring Business website - www.inspiringbusiness.netBook an Exploration Call here - https://inspiringbusiness.net/exploration-call-booking/The Scale to Success System - https://inspiringbusiness.net/deep-dive-program/Stephen Sandor LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-sandor/Inspiring Business LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/inspiring-businessFacebook https://www.facebook.com/inspiringbusinessaustraliaRiverside Subscription

Helen Conway has, by her own admission, always been an agitator. As the experienced lawyer, senior executive, NED and workplace gender equality expert tells Claire Braund in this podcast, it was her “contrary nature” which compelled her to get involved when she saw something that was not right. “I may have made a few enemies along the way, but you have to be courageous enough to stand up for what is right, and ultimately you get a return on that investment.” Helen spent 10 years in private legal practice, including seven years as a partner in a major law firm in Sydney before moving into the corporate sector, where she worked as a senior executive in the insurance transport, energy, retail and construction industries for 18 years. “I love the cut and thrust of the commercial environment”. At the same time, she undertook various directorships and the health transport and superannuation sectors. But she's probably most famous for her next role, leading the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency through its transition into the Workplace Gender Equality Agency. Helen has a long track record of supporting women. She was a member of the New South Wales Equal Opportunity Tribunal for a decade, including three years as its Senior Judicial Member, was involved with a halfway house for released women prisoners and helped set up the Women's Legal Centre. She is now Chair of YWCA Australia and YWCA Housing as well as Chair of Women for Election Australia.   In this podcast Helen talks about the pivotal role of the WGEA and why there is still a need to not just talk about gender equality, but to act. As she puts it: “A lot of people TALK about gender equality…I'm more interested in the doing.”

New figures show bigger gender pay differentials are in the higher age ranges. Rena Sarampaet speaks with Mary Wooldridge from Workplace Gender Equality Agency. SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves finds out why the market had a solid day with Henry Jennings from Marcus Today.

In all likelihood you'll come across a sexist boss in your career. Maybe you're dealing with one right now, or can remember a time you've witnessed your coworkers put up with prejudice. So how should you handle sexism, and how do we craft diverse environments that cull sexist cultures altogether? Speaking at the 2022 Future Women Leadership Summit, Mary Wooldridge, Director of the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, Dr Victor Sojo, Senior Lecturer in Leadership at the University of Melbourne and Jessica Smith, Senior Security Consultant at CyberCX discuss their experiences and research surrounding gender inequality at work and give their advice on how you can deal with, and prevent future displays of discrimination. The Future Women Leadership Series is hosted by Helen McCabe. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello beautiful people Check out the To Be Human Book List | https://amzn.to/3KCdRaX On today's podcast we have the beautiful Emma Jane. Emma is an academic based at the University of New South Wales in Sydney whose research interests are quite eclectic ranging from sex and gender, to technology facilitated violence. Her research has been presented to the Australian Human Rights Commission and Workplace Gender Equality Agency. Emma is also an author having written her most recent book, being her eleventh book, ‘Diagnosis Normal'; which shares about the combined impact of sexual abuse, mental illness and neurodivergence. What I personally love about this conversation is Emma's passion to, in her words, break the toxic silence surrounding sexual violence and mental illness; that we need to hear more unpretty stories. Emma is an academic, which traditionally can come with a set of standards, I would say in separating the academic from the person behind the academia. However it is in Emma's recent book and in this episode, that Emma courageously steps outside tradition and into the necessity of bringing together her research with her own story. Living in shame that is fuelled by silence can be terribly lonely, and it is Emma's drive to not only encourage others to share their story, but more importantly to have people to listen, to really listen, that certainly makes this episode an important element in moving forward.Please enjoy this lovely conversation with Emma.

It's International Women's Day and the theme is #BreakTheBias! Mary Wooldridge from the Workplace Gender Equality Agency joins Shell and Em to talk about a big issue that women encounter at work, the gender pay gap. The chat touches on:

Does extending parental leave entitlements present a greater cost to the Australian economy or a benefit? The answer from economists and gender equality groups seem to agree, it is beneficial for all. Both socially and economically. These benefits extend to unpaid work at home. This does make sense when you listen to economist Jessica Mizrahi, Director at Accenture Australia and Vice President of the Economic Society of NSW and Mary Wooldridge, Director of the Workplace Gender Equality Agency. We also hear from Hugh Sinclair, a senior finance manager with property group Stockland, who took his full parental leave entitlement when his second child was born. He compares the experience and the benefits from when he took two weeks leave and twenty weeks leave.

Libby Lyons, former Director of the Workplace Gender Equality Agency discusses the current gender equality issues faced by women in the workplace, what the statistics tell us, what's changing and how schools can participate in creating that change. This episode was recorded during our May 2021 Summit on Girls' Education.

Mary Wooldridge is a woman who believes that if you want change on the big social issues then you get engaged in purposeful action to get policy change and action taken. As Director of the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, the issues currently in her sights are gender inequality, including closing the 14.2% gender pay gap, and ensuring that women and men are equally represented, valued and rewarded in the workplace. As a Victorian Member of Parliament from 2006 to 2020 with several Ministerial portfolios (Mental Health, Community Services and Women's Affairs) Mary had a strong reform agenda. This included establishing the Commissioner for Children and Young People and Australia's first Commissioner for Aboriginal Children and Young People, instigating the Shergold Report into Reform of the Human Services Sector to improve partnerships between the government and community sector organisations, implementing the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010-2022 and being instrumental in establishing Our Watch, the national family violence prevention agency.  Prior to being elected to Parliament, Mary was the CEO of The Foundation for Young Australians and worked with McKinsey & Company and Consolidated Press Holdings. She is now Chair of the Australian board of Global Citizens - whose mission is to end extreme poverty worldwide by 2030 In this podcast, Mary speaks to Claire about why the Liberal Party should implement quotas for women, why we need to be ever vigilant about gender equality in the workplace and why Australia needs to invest in all industries in our COVID world, not just male-dominated industries like construction, to ensure men and women can both benefit equally from any government-funded recovery.

If you're listening live, today marks Equal Pay Day! Joining Glen for this chat is Shelley Johnson who co-hosts my millennial career, and Workplace Gender Equality Agency director, Mary Wooldridge, as they discuss the gender pay gap, the data around it and what employees and employers can do to bring about change. They touch on:

There's been a 0.8 per cent rise in the gender pay gap in the past six months, with men now taking home over $260 a week more than women.

It’s over 50 years since the equal pay decision when the Arbitration Commission endorsed the principle of equal pay for equal work. But 50 years on there’s still a gender pay gap. Despite campaigns for gender equality Australian women earn ,  on average , 13.4 percent less than men. So why is there this persistent gap and how can we fix it? The Director of the Workplace Gender Equality Agency wants employers to be agents of change.

Guest Bio: Libby Lyons was appointed Director of Australia's Workplace Gender Equality Agency in 2015. She oversees the process that gathers gender equality data from over 10,000 employers, covering more than 4 million employees.

I'll caucus. I'll go out and individually start talking to the different people that are going to be at the table and talk to them and tell them what I think and caucus to try to get that support and say to them, “will you support me in tis. If you don't I'll bring it up anyway, but it would be great to have some support around the table.” -LL  “The one thing that I think we all need to work really hard on, as women, is: supporting other women.

According to a new world-first study based on data from the national Workplace Gender Equality Agency, there's strong evidence linking the financial success of companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, and the number of women running them.

The data is in! Employing and promoting women makes a company more productive and more profitable, so why aren't all businesses doing more of that? In this episode we brief you on a brand-new report that makes the unequivocal business case for gender equality in Australia's top companies. While women make up half of the workforce there are far fewer women in leadership positions than men. Our guests are Libby Lyons (Director of the Workplace Gender Equality Agency) and Karen Lonergan (Head of People and Culture at property development company Stockland).   In today's headlines: $250m rescue package for the arts World heading for 10 million Covid-19 cases as Australia battles its own outbreak Finally confirmation on how to pronounce Arnott's Nice biscuits   In today's Briefing we ask: If more gender balanced leadership means higher profits why aren't more companies doing this?

Mitch & Nathan are joined by Libby Lyons, the Director of the Australian Government's Workplace Gender Equality Agency (its mission is to promote and improve gender equality in Australian workplaces). Did you know that the legal industry in Australia is female dominated? But, when it comes to the most senior positions, women are severely underrepresented. Libby talks specifically about the legal industry in relation to gender targets, getting 'gender on the tender', why we don't want to "snap back" after COVID-19, as well as the Agency's push for government funded early education in schools from the age of two as a mechanism to help working families.

Half a century after Australia enshrined the principle of equal pay, men continue to out-earn women on average by 20.8 per cent. The Workplace Gender Equality Agency scorecard identifies a small improvement in pay equity but on average men earn about $25,000 more than women each year.

Welcome to Finance & Fury, the Furious Friday edition. Today’s episode is all about the drive to equality. A recent proposal by the Labour Government is to force equality through gender, and forcing companies to publicly disclose pay gaps between men and women. Reporting differences in pay between genders Personally, I don’t like it as it further drives division between people I think it will actually hurt women more than help them The Proposal Companies with more than 1,000 employees will be forced to publicly disclose how much they pay woman compared to men. Companies that fail to comply will be excluded from competing for government work - this seems like blackmail for compliance! Companies already disclose pay gaps to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency as it is already illegal to discriminate and pay people less based on gender Why is this happening? The Wage Gap currently sits at about 15% or so, but this depends on how you interpret the numbers Stats – What is an average? In 2016 the average female wage was 89% of the average male wage The median (middle number of average) female wage was 92% of the median male wage. This gap has remained relatively steady over the past decade (see Table 2.1). The practicality of it Will the analysis be multi-variant? Age and experience? – this will impact annual earnings Hours worked and time in the office What position and role in the company? The government doesn’t care about free market forces – it comes back to votes and control Outcomes Prime Minister Scott Morrison is concerned workplace conflict would be sparked if pay details were disclosed. Cost of regulations – New government agency will need funding – from tax payers’ money More staff required for big companies which means higher salary expenses without increasing output – this destroys the free market What if a company has a wage gap? SJW boycotts will cause trouble for companies, decrease of demand for their products, they may have to lay off workers to survive, and therefore go out of business Everyone loses their job – women and men alike. No winners. Will it actually change anything? Will it help close the wage gap? The most critical thing governments can do to boost women’s pay is to ensure the economy remains strong, and not divisive. The only thing any government can do is to create the right economic circumstances to be able to grow jobs   Why does the gap exist? Let’s look at Industry Sectors and earnings Breakdown - Occupation and industry have different averages Mining is one of the highest for men Western Australia has highest pay gap – 22.4% (Thanks to mining) This is due to dangerous work – 90-95% of deaths in workforce are men Get paid ‘risk premium’ – do women REALLY want to equalise that? Social work is one of the lowest for men Lower incomes compared to Mining If it was only based on gender wouldn’t companies then only hire woman? Companies are meant to be greedy – if this is true why don’t companies only hire woman?   This is an example of playing politics rather than being about actioning meaningful change. The issue with politics today – politicians go for the easy vote – it’s a game Why are politicians playing this divisive game? This is dangerous – Telling 50% of the population that there is no chance for them is bad If you constantly hear that you are doomed to earn less, would you try as hard? Be wary of Government Agency claims – They need the gender pay gap to exist Again, it’s a race to the bottom and unfortunately this is more likely to reduce everyone’s wage Sweden is one of the most ‘equal’ countries and you see more woman going into non-tech related fields because it comes back to individual choices. I encourage you, especially if you’re a female, don’t focus on the so-called “Gender Pay Gap”, “there’s no hope” etc. etc. …and instead focus on trying to improve yourself, increase your demand and try to get the best for yourself without buying into social engineering. We all have equal opportunity (there’s actually more women than men at university now) Regardless of your gender – make sure you tune in to Monday’s episode

Women are great at negotiating, and get better outcomes when we are advocating for someone else (rather than ourselves) The broken system and unconscious expectations and biases mean there’s a double backlash – if we negotiate hard then we’re seen as masculine, if we don’t negotiate then we get paid less You don’t get what you don’t ask for Resources We mention some resources throughout the conversation, here is where you can find links to them all!
