ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç records gender pay gap below 5 per cent
"Gender pay equity is critical to a healthy society and an inclusive culture. We’ve worked hard to put in place strategies to close the gender pay gap and to keep it closed. The Workplace Gender Equality Agency’s publication of this data is a very useful tool, providing transparency for all. However, while I’m proud of where we stand based on this data, we cannot be complacent. We need to continue to progress, to drive forward and take meaningful action to ensure pay and opportunities are equitable at ºÚÁÏÍø´óʼÇ."
