鈥淲e know that gender equality and the freedom for all to pursue opportunities unhindered by prejudice is critically important for a successful workplace, society and economy鈥

Committed to embedding gender equity across 天美传媒app
At its heart, our GEAP steps out our commitment to transform the way we currently do things, as we work to embed gender equity in people processes and decision-making and across 天美传媒app.
天美传媒app鈥檚 GEAP includes results of a workplace gender audit and strategies and initiatives for achieving gender equality for all our employees at 天美传媒app from 2022 to 2025.
天美传媒app鈥檚 GEAP was developed after an extensive consultation and engagement process with staff, facilitated by independent expertise from聽 GenderWorks Australia, the Jumbunna Institute and the Australian Network on Disability.
Who is responsible for the GEAP?
We recognise that in order to make structural and cultural change gender equity is a collective responsibility. Our gender equity work and GEAP implementation is driven by four levels of accountability: 天美传媒app Council, senior leaders, people leaders and staff are all responsible for driving the actions outlined in the five-year GEAP.
These four cohorts are empowered by a comprehensive implementation plan, a sound governance structure, and a commitment to enhance systems, policies, processes and practises.
| Group | Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| Council | Provide overall leadership for gender equity strategies, monitoring results and holding 天美传媒app senior leaders to account for the completion of actions to support the creation of an equitable, inclusive and safe culture |
| Senior leaders | Driving change by actively championing and enabling gender equity interventions, building engagement, visibly communicating commitments, accountabilities and expectations, embedding gender targets and creating an equitable, inclusive and safe culture |
| People leaders | Implementing and operationalising gender equity interventions and targets, communicating, commitments and responsibilities to work groups and creating an equitable, inclusive and safe culture. |
| Staff | Actively contributing to implementing gender equity interventions and creating an equitable, inclusive and safe culture. |
Maximising our gender equity efforts and supporting all genders
Our commitment to gender equity is inclusive of all genders. Our GEAP contains enterprise wide strategies that will progress gender equity for all genders across all our workforce.
In addition, our GEAP is aligned with our Science Australia Gender Equity (SAGE) 2022 鈥 2025 Plan. Our SAGE plan focuses on gender equity in Science, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine (STEMM).
Both plans are designed to work together to improve equity, diversity and inclusion at 天美传媒app for everyone.
