A TIP
The Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) has recently released some very interesting data highlighting the criticality of creating more flexible roles at senior levels.
The data shows that at all ages, less than 50% of women in Australia are working full-time. At the same time, higher paid management opportunities are almost exclusively reserved for full-time workers. In all age groups, more than 90% of managers are working full-time.
An interesting conundrum? Or a problem with a very clear solution - create more part-time management roles?!
A QUOTE
Whether through choice or necessity, the result is that women are missing out on management roles and it is accentuating the gender pay gap for women.'
