Mixed scorecard for champions of change
Share
The founding members of advocacy group The Champions of Change Coalition have recorded a mixed scorecard in an analysis of workplace gender balance and the promotion of female employees.
Nearly half of the original member organisations reported either a fall or no change in the proportion of female key management personnel, a study by the group, which earlier this month changed its name from Male Champions of Change, found.
Elizabeth Broderick, a former Australian sex discrimination commissioner, says changing entrenched practices is a difficult task.

Two of the original members, Qantas and Telstra, recorded falls in the proportion of women employees overall, while three of the 14 organisations conceded that the promotion of female employees was below the overall representation of women in their workforces.
