Employer Statement on Workplace Gender Equality Agency Reporting
Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG) welcomes the opportunity to engage with the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA).
We are encouraged by numbers that show our current workforce has 40% more women than the industry average, and 24% more women in management roles than the industry average. We are also pleased to be part of the 77% of the industry which offers paid parental leave.
Over the past 12 months, AGIG has embarked upon a process to close our gender pay gap. The centrepiece of this work is the implementation of a new Remuneration Framework which prioritises the identification and closure of gender pay gaps.
While we are proud of our progress, there is still more to do. The numbers released today tell us that.
In the coming 12-24 months, AGIG will review its attraction, recruitment, retention and promotion processes with a focus on closing the gender pay gap.
We will also conduct deep dives into the roles with the largest identified gender pay gaps in order to draw out reasons for the gap and implement solutions to close the pay gap.
AGIG looks forward to providing further updates via WGEA.
