Generating Innovation and Commitment to Gender Equality 

If you could do just one thing to create gender equal outcomes in
the workplace, what would you do that has not been done before?

​

The forum is set up to generate innovation and commitment to building gender equality in the workplace beyond ‘flexible work options’ such as working from home or varied start and finish times that are now common place and have not delivered the necessary equilibrium.

The achievement of authentic gender equality requires a shift in the contemporary paradigms of thinking around work and also caregiving. It demands the reinvention of what we consider work to be, what it looks like, how we organise, measure and reward it. Above all it must be founded on the principle of diversity that is so often quoted as part of the Corporate Sustainability strategy of many organisations but remains in practice, elusive.

DFP and the Gender, Leadership and Social Sustainability Research Unit at Monash University have invited a diverse range of thought leaders, high achievers and everyday Australians to voice their version of effective change and solutions to the age old dilemma of gender equality in the workplace.

Our panelists will pitch their idea for generating change and have been encouraged to be as innovative and creative as they dare! The event is designed to bring together innovative thinkers, fresh voices and agents of change to capitalise on the expertise and vision of the panel. Through outlier thinking, the ideas and content will no doubt be fresh and feasible - moving beyond the existing status quo on gender diversity.
