Company: Australia Post
Speaker: Diane Utatao, Manager, Diversity & Recruitment
Award: Diversity@Work Awards, 2009 - National Champion 'Diversity and Inclusion' (Large Corporation)
This award marked the progress made, over the past 20 years in particular, within Australia Post - with regards to the reflection of Australia Post’s diverse national population within its own workforce. Particular recognition was given to the representation rates of women, Indigenous, NESB & people with disability within Australia Post’s workforce having been attained through recruitment based on meritocracy rather than a quota-based system.
Company: Mallesons Stephen Jacques
Speaker: Catherine McNair, EEO and Flexibility Manager
Award: Diversity@Work Awards, 2009 - The Employment and Inclusion of Women in Leadership (Large Organisation)
This award recognised a long term commitment in relation to advancement, retention and engagement of women which began over 20 years ago with the first female partner appointed, the introduction of paid maternity leave, followed by the implementation of flexible work practices - many of the above plus other targeted initiatives have been specifically designed to support all staff members manage work, family and life.
Company: 2discover Recruitment
Speaker: Julie Carran, General Manager
Nature of the Award: Human Capital Award, Preferred Recruitment - Agency
Clients and Candidates are leaning heavily towards niche agencies rather than large generalists. 2discovers’ diversity strategy and value add makes a difference to clients and candidates.
