The Business Case for Gender Equality

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

In today’s Briefing we ask: If more gender balanced leadership means higher profits why aren’t more companies doing this?
