    Workplace Gender Equality Strategy Project - Final Report
    Olsen, J ; Orpin, S ; Good, L ; TOWNS, D (Centre for Workplace Leadership, University of Melbourne, 2015)
    Progress towards workplace gender equality is a national priority. For Australian organisations, closing the gender gap and maximising the potential of both male and female employees is crucial for increasing productivity and securing future growth. The Workplace Gender Equality Agency’s (WGEA’s; 2014) gender equality indicators have found that while 45% of Australian employers have policies on flexible work, and family and caring responsibilities, only about 13% have a strategy for implementing such policies. Over half of organisations have a standalone gender equality policy, but only 7% have a gender equality strategy. Women’s representation is low at management levels, with women comprising around 26% of the top three layers of the management hierarchy in Australian organisations with 100 or more employees. Pursuit of flexible work practices and promotion of gender equity needs to be implemented in a more strategic, integrated and sustainable way in order to have real effect at the workplace level.

    Women, Global Trade and What it Takes to Succeed
    SAMMARTINO, A ; Gundlach, S (University of Melbourne & Women in Global Business, 2015)
    This report is the second emanating from the five year partnership between Women in Global Business (WIGB) and the University of Melbourne to annually survey Australia’s international businesswomen. It fills a critical gap in data about Australian businesswomen engaging in international business and expands our understanding of their successes, challenges and motivations. It provides unique insights and captures the views and opinions of these entrepreneurial women with global ambitions. We look at their significant but under recognised contribution to Australia’s economic growth and job creation. These women remain very optimistic about future growth. Our survey of 416 women, reveals a dynamic community of entrepreneurs and senior decision‐makers guiding organisations into markets around the world.
