THE Australian Commonwealth Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency (EOWA) has new criteria for its Employer of Choice for Women award. This includes a pay equity gap of less than 17 per cent, a minimum of six weeks paid maternity leave, and at least 27 per cent of the managers being women.
We're getting closer gals - still not equal pay, but closing the gap!
EOWA has for the fifth year running, given the University of Western Sydney its Employer of Choice for Women award. UWS was one of only 99 organisations that met the agency's new criteria.
Go you Universities - no wonder so many working mothers remain in Academia when it's such a supportive environment for women, families and work/life balance!
