23.01.2022 Recent research results by The University of Melbourne show that fathers have spent more time looking after their children during lockdown than before #COVID19Aus. While reducing the gap in #sharedcare has narrowed, it has not disappeared. However, this could become the new norm if employers continue to allow staff to work from home. http://ow.ly/7faP50Bjv8a... #flexiblework #flexwork #equalparenting #genderequality

21.01.2022 This Friday 28 August is #EqualPayDay but why does it matter? Women must work an extra 59 days to earn the same as men. Its time we close the #GenderPayGap. Our report Shes Priced Less shows how entrenched gender stereotypes in paid work and caring continue to drive inequity in the workplace.

21.01.2022 Racism continues to be an issue in Australia and real change wont happen until uncomfortable conversations are had. Thats why our last event focusing on how organisations can move beyond tokenism to real action on racism was so paramount. What was undeniable was the importance of the workplace in society, in terms of what it contributes to broader society, and the opportunities it can provide through inclusion or exclusion of people, and what that can mean for marginalised... and disaffected groups. Moderated by DCA CEO Lisa Annese with a brilliant panel including: Dr Summer May Finlay, Researcher at University of Canberra Mohammad Al-Khafaji, Chief Executive Officer, Federation of Ethnic Communities Councils of Australia - FECCA Ken Woo, Partner at PwC Sam Klintworth, National Director, Amnesty International and Dr. Berhan Ahmed, CEO, African Australian Multicultural Employment and Youth Services.

18.01.2022 "Its really powerful when a leader can speak about their own mental health, if they have experienced a mental health issue. If not, we have all been vulnerable at some point. Vulnerable leadership in itself can be a really powerful and a strong way to get a message out." Listen to our #ArtofInclusion podcast where two CEOs talk about leading and managing mental health http://ow.ly/8XOr50BluOB #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters #InclusiveLeadership #AuthenticLeadership #RUOKDay

17.01.2022 At the heart of the #neurodiversity movement, which advocates for the rights of #neurodivergent people, is that different does not equate to lesser than. DCA CEO Lisa Annese, spoke with Chris Varney, founder and CEO of the The I CAN Network an organisation that empowers people on the Autism spectrum to better understand neurodiversity and get his unique perspectives as a leader with autism successfully employing 38 employees with #autism.

16.01.2022 This is your last chance to help us figure out how best to ‘count culture’ (i.e. how to measure #culturaldiversity) in the workforce. Please help us do this by taking this quick survey http://ow.ly/Ewj250CrKH6 #DiversityInTheWorkplace #InclusionMatters #DiversityMatters

16.01.2022 Language is a powerful tool for building #inclusion (or #exclusion) at work. The way we speak to each other creates a culture in which everyone can feel valued, respected, and one of the team (included), rather than under-valued, disrespected, and out of place (excluded). Thats why weve created our #WordsAtWork guide to help our members better understand why language and the words we use at work can help support people, build a healthy work culture, and fuel performance.... DCA members can find our Words at Work guide here: http://ow.ly/clAR50BfA9K #LanguageMatters #InclusiveLanguage #InclusiveWorkplaces #InclusiveLeadership

15.01.2022 Our CEO Lisa Annese will be speaking at the Global Inclusion Online Forum, the first online event of its scale, bringing together leaders and experts on #diversity and #inclusion, HR consultants, business owners and top managers wanting to make business more inclusive.

14.01.2022 Its #EqualPayDay today! How will you continue working towards #genderequality? Its important employers continue to focus on gender equality in their organisations. #COVID19Aus has disproportionately impacted on women and could affect womens long-term economic security and rates of workforce participation. Gender equality is also not only good for business, evidence shows that gender-balanced leadership in an organisation delivers better company performance, improved prod...uctivity and greater profitability. We must #KeepMindingTheGap because its the right thing to do and an important aspect of rebuilding the Australian economy.

14.01.2022 Lisa Annese, a CEO at Diversity Council Australia has had a long career in the D&I space across the corporate, government and not-for-profit sector. She was nam...ed one of The Australian Financial Reviews 100 Women of Influence and elected to the Board of Amnesty International Australia. Creating a diverse team might seem like a solution to virtually any problem, but diversity without inclusion does little good. Hence, the question arises: how does one shift towards inclusion? In her keynote, Lisa Annese will share the Australian experience in approaching inclusion and making it its catalyst for success.

13.01.2022 We asked Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workers to speak their truth on experiences in the workplace and found that racism impacts the wellbeing and job satisfaction of Indigenous employees. They were: 2.5 times LESS likely to always be satisfied with their job, compared to those who rarely or never experienced unfair racist treatment 3 times LESS likely to always recommend their workplace to other Indigenous people... 2 times as likely to be looking for a new employer in the next year. Our new #GariYala research with the Jumbunna Institute is a must read for all workplaces so we can help create better workplace experiences for our First Nations community: http://ow.ly/7v2k50CrMeh #IndigenousEmployment #IndigenousInclusion #AboriginalLivesMatter #Diversity #WorkplaceInclusion #DiversityEquityInclusion #WorkplaceCulture

11.01.2022 Leadership and working to build a more equitable society requires empathy. Its often called a soft skill and many see it as a weakness, or even a trait that is gender-specific. This is completely untrue. http://ow.ly/7RNr50Blwhy #Leadership #EmpathicLeadership #InclusiveLeadership #InclusiveWorkplaces

11.01.2022 Accepting the Uluru Statement from the Heart would make Australia a more inclusive place for everyone.

10.01.2022 Lets share the care this Fathers Day! Today we celebrate and honour the fathers and father figures in our lives but its also an opportunity to think about shared care and the role of fathers in parenting. Womens disproportionate share of unpaid care and domestic work, lack of workplace flexibility and time out of the workforce are key contributors to the gender pay gap. For more information, see our report, Lets Share the Care: A Call to Action to Reduce the Gender Pay Gap: http://ow.ly/RLuI50BgyhJ

10.01.2022 Adopting an #intersectional approach to #genderequality helps us understand how other #diversity dimensions can overlap with gender to compound disadvantage and discrimination. So what does this mean for gender equality policy, strategy and practice in the workplace today? Our next event this Wednesday 9 September will examine what employers can do. MCd by Amanda Webb, CEO of Xplore, our CEO Lisa Annese and the following experts: Shakira Hussein, National Centre of Excelle...nce for Islamic Studies, Asia Institute, University of Melbourne Somali Cerise, Director, Projects, Male Champions of Change Kate Russell, DCA Board member and Director of the Office of the Group Deputy Secretary, Place, Design and Public Space - Department of Planning Industry and Environment Ian Hancock, National Managing Partner, Management Consulting, KPMG Australia and Catherina Behan, Inclusion & Diversity Leader, Suncorp Group DCA members register http://ow.ly/aGck50Bjymy #diversityequityinclusion #diversityintheworkplace #diversitymatters #intersectionality

07.01.2022 If you work to protect or advocate on behalf of others in our community, you know too well the risks of online harm that can exist. The Office of the eSafety Commissioner has released an important evidence based framework Protecting Voices at Risk Online with information, advice and tools on how to support those most at risk. eSafetys research and reporting trends show certain individuals and groups are disproportionately at risk of online harm, or face additional barrie...rs to protecting themselves from harm or accessing support. Working in #diversity and #inclusion comes with its challenges in the digital world, making #onlinesafety more critical than ever. Make sure you, your team and organisation are informed on how to keep each other safe online when doing the great work you do. http://ow.ly/amoD50B2aa3 #onlineharms #workplacewellbeing #inclusiveworkplace #diversityequityinclusion

07.01.2022 JOIN US For our next online event where we will look at Indigenous Workforce Engagement with a focus on the experience of Accor Group. Accor has a long and proud history in Indigenous engagement, but after a crisis in how this was executed at one of their hotels, they took the road less travelled and re-examined what their commitment really means. Working with researchers at the UTS: Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education & Research, they actually asked their Indige...nous employees about their workplace experiences and what they could do better. Join our brilliant guest panel who will discuss the impetus for the project, the experience of the researchers and methodology as well as what Accors Indigenous employees said about their workplace experiences. * Nareen Young, Industry Professor, Indigenous Policy (Indigenous Workforce Diversity) at Jumbunna Institute of Indigenous Education and Research, University of Technology Sydney, * Sarah Derry, Senior Vice President, Talent and Culture (Pacific), Accor * Josh Hanley, Senior Indigenous Programs Manager, Accor DCA members register now http://ow.ly/XSDP50BqPNZ #IndigenousEmployment #AboriginalInclusion #InclusiveWorkplaces #AboriginalLivesMatter #InclusiveLeadership

06.01.2022 We asked Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workers to speak their truth on workplace experiences and they told us their workplace supports are ineffective: Only 1 in 3 felt they had the workplace support required when they experienced racism, and Only 1 in 5 worked in organisations with both a racism complaint procedure and anti-discrimination compliance training that included reference to Indigenous discrimination and harassment....

06.01.2022 Its clear that more action is needed to tackle racism in Australia. COVID-19 has caused a disturbing rise in racism against Asian Australians while the US Black Lives Matter movement has shone a light on the continued injustices and inequalities experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in our society. So what role can and should employers and indeed all of us play in eradicating it and creating more inclusive workplaces and communities? One of our most ...important events yet and definitely not to be missed.

04.01.2022 "Inclusion has to be intentional in order for it to be successful. We cannot simply do inclusion, inclusion is a mindset. Our mantra for the year ahead! We're floored by the number of organisations that have committed to making 2021 a year of action towards advancing #diversity and #inclusion in their workplaces by becoming DCA members ... Our goal is to support Australian employers to create diverse workplaces where everyone feels included respected, connected and able to contribute to organisational success and where differences are viewed as an asset, not a hindrance, to performance. If you're a new member, please say hi! If you're not a member but keen to find out more about membership, contact us at [email protected] or follow link in bio for more info #Repost @thevaluable500 We this New Year mantra from @theadvocatesworld: Inclusion has to be intentional in order for it to be successful. We cannot simply do inclusion, inclusion is a mindset. In 2020, the subject of inclusion finally got the space it deserves, and many people who had never previously experienced exclusion suddenly understood what it really feels like to be left out, unable to participate and isolated. We finally started having the difficult (but necessary) conversations and listening to each other. In 2021, many people have already shared their commitment to continue this mindset into the New Year. But remember, true inclusion requires work! If you’re not actively creating cultures of INclusion, chances are you’re probably creating cultures of EXclusion. So just a friendly reminder to keep working, keep pushing and making sure you’re living inclusion, not just thinking it. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Image 1. On a green background, white text reads ‘Inclusion requires intention’. Image 2.
