As we explore Belonging within the APS, join us for an interview about Gender Equality between ATO Gender Equality Champion, Ying Yang and Victoria’s first Public Sector Gender Equality Commissioner, Dr Niki Vincent.
Victoria’s Gender Equality Act 2020 is the first of its kind in Australia and covers 300 organisations in the Victorian public sector. The Commission for Gender Equality in the Public Sector was established following the passing of the Act and Dr Vincent oversees its implementation.
With a wealth of experience in gender equality and organisational leadership, Dr Vincent’s shares how HR professionals can influence initiatives, promote gender equality, and increase employee satisfaction.
Watch as Ying and Dr Vincent discuss:
- The role of the Act and how Dr Vincent implements it
- Lessons learnt
- Strategies for HR professionals
- Gender Pay Gap
- Diversity and the Intersectionality at work report
- Similarities between the Commonwealth and Victorian Government strategies
Dr Vincent explains “The Commission continues to take positive action towards achieving workplace gender equality in Victoria and has great resources for organisations in other states interested in adopting similar policies.”
We encourage HR professionals to explore the resources available and continue to implement positive gender equality practices within our workplaces.
