Communicare is proud of our gender diversity and commitment to gender equality.
Like many organisations in the community services sector, Communicare has a predominantly female workforce with around 80% of employees identifying as women. Women also hold most of our leadership roles with:
- 67% of our Executive Leadership Team are female;
- 72% of our senior leaders are female; and
- 86% of our frontline leaders are female.
Communicare is committed to reviewing our gender pay gap data to identify ways in which we can continually improve our performance in this critical area. Over the last 12 months, Communicare has:
- Reviewed gender composition of leadership teams and succession plans;
- Launched a new flexible working policy that expands the scope and types of flexible work arrangements available for employees;
- Embedded positive duty in the workplace by conducting ongoing training to prevent gender-based harassment or discrimination in our workplaces; and
- Raised the profile of gender pay by including it as one of our Key Performance Indicators at the Board level.
The results of the latest WGEA survey are promising, but we know that achieving gender equity is an ongoing process. As an organisation we are committed to ensuring that all people are fairly represented and equally valued and rewarded in the workplace.
