SUMMARY:Preventing and Responding to Sexual Harassment in the Workplace: A New Approach?
DESCRIPTION:In September\, the Sex Discrimination and Fair Work (Respect at Work) Amendment Act 2021 (Cth) received assent. Described by some as a “missed opportunity”\, it remains to be seen whether the Act will have any real impact on tackling the enduring high incidence of sexual harassment.\nUltimately\, it is becoming increasingly clear that irrespective of the recent legislative amendments\, employers should adopt a work health and safety approach to tackling sexual harassment. \nIn this 45-minute session\, hear from Amber Sharp\, Partner\, McCullough Robertson about the changes\, and what your organisation needs to do in response.\nIn this session\, Amber will cover:\n– A recap on the Respect@Work report\n– Legislative reform: Sex Discrimination and Fair Work (Respect at Work) Amendment Bill 2021 (Cth) and Fair Work Amendment (Respect at Work) Regulations 2021 (Cth)\n– Sexual harassment as a work health and safety issue\n– Responding to complaints and reports.

SUMMARY:Inclusive Leadership with Serendis – 5 virtual\, interactive sessions
DESCRIPTION:How we define success in leadership is changing. To deliver innovation\, performance and productivity in an era of rapid change and complexity\, leaders must leverage diversity.

SUMMARY:Finding Financial Freedom highlights with Carolyn Reid
DESCRIPTION:Against the backdrop of COVID-19\, and changes in Australia’s business\, retirement and health systems\, achieving financial autonomy has never been more complex. \nEven before COVID-19\, gender equality and the empowerment of women were topics of real discussion\, change and progression. As the pandemic continues to affect lives globally\, we are beginning to see how women are being disproportionately affected – threatening the progress society has made in recent years. \nGlobally\, women are 1.8 times more likely than men to have lost or quit their job. In combination with the gender pay gap\, the need and opportunity to address financial literacy could not be greater. \nAddressing financial autonomy – irrespective of gender – is now a commercial imperative for financial services. Why? Because financial independence is the dominant contributor to self-esteem. The impact of the pandemic has increased the need for Australians to make informed choices in life to be financially independent – especially where the opportunity to grow wealth for the future is challenged in a low-interest environment. \nPresenting exclusive research insights to the WIBF community\, Carolyn Reid will reveal an unparalleled state of the nation regarding Australian women and finance. This is some of the richest data of the Australian story through COVID-19 and beyond. Prepare for a big wake-up call and get ready for a new future of finance. \nIn this 45-minute session\, hear from Carolyn Reid\, Executive Director and Head of Qualitative at Kantar. She will cover:\n– The intrinsic and powerful link between financial autonomy and self-esteem\n– Why 4 in 10 women say they want to be more confident understanding finance\n– The gender difference between saving and investing – and why this matters\n– Why women are twice as likely to walk away from an unfulfilling relationship\n– Deeply human insights to guide the valuable role you can play in empowering the financial wellbeing and self-esteem of Australian women

SUMMARY:EQUAL PAY DAY
DESCRIPTION:What is Equal Pay Day?\nEqual Pay Day marks the additional days from the end of the previous financial year that women must work\, on average\, to earn the same amount as men earned that year. In 2021\, 31 August was Equal Pay Day and so we are holding this date as a place marker for 2022 Equal Pay Day. \nEach year WGEA calculates the national gender pay gap and the date of Equal Pay Day using the latest Average Weekly Earnings seasonally adjusted data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). \nThe Facts of (Un)Equal Pay\nIn 2021 The national gender pay gap was 14.2%. On average\, women working full-time earned $1\,575.50 while men working full-time earned $1\,837.00.  Full-time average weekly earnings difference between women and men is $261.50. Let’s hope it improves for 2022! \nMore information on the Gender Pay Gap and what will happen in 2022\nWe will update this post when we know more in 2002. \nIn the meantime\, please see AGEC’s Resources page for information on the gender pay gap https://www.agec.org.au/resources/gender-pay-gap/. \nAlso the WGEA website has resources and tools on equal pay and addressing the gender pay gap in your workplace. https://www.wgea.gov.au/the-gender-pay-gap/equal-pay-day.  The Equal Pay Alliance website has information on Equal Pay Day\, the Alliance and Events https://www.equalpayday.com.au
