- Diversity- A diverse and inclusive workplace is one that makes everyone feel valuable regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, diability, age, religion or social status. It means that people feel supported in being their whole and true self to work. Do you have diversity targets in place to improve your female workforce? Do you have a good representation of women of colour/women from CALD?
- Equity - Does your company have equitable and fair opportunities where female employees feel the freedom to contribute and influence every part and level of their workplace?
- Inclusion - Do women of colour/women from CALD feel a sense of belonging and safety at work to bring their unique selves without fear of discrimination or exclusion?
- Retention - Do women leave your workplace within 6 months to 1 year of being employed? What is the ratio of your leadership structure? Is there a clear career progression pathway for women or women of colour in your workplace?
