The numbers are clear: Australia needs to pick up the pace.

The 2022 WGEA Gender Equality Scorecard has been released, and it reveals that progress toward workplace gender equality in Australia has stalled.

The gender pay gap is a major issue in Australia, with women earning $26,596 less than men on average. Men are twice as likely to be in the top earning bracket, while women are 1.5 times more likely to be in the lowest. And it's not just a few industries: every single industry in Australia has a gender pay gap that favours men, and the gap has increased in eight industries this year.

But it's not just about pay. Research has shown that having more women in key decision-making positions leads to improved company performance. However, the 2022 employer reports show that women are still under-represented in leadership positions, with only 22.3% of CEOs being women and only 20% of boards having gender balance. Shockingly, 22.3% of boards are all men.

It's clear that there's a lot of work to be done in Australia to achieve workplace gender equality.

With International Women’s Day tomorrow, let’s all commit to doing our part to create a more equitable society for everyone.

McKinsey & Company reports that globally women hold only 23% of executive leadership roles and just 8.2% of CEO positions of the Fortune 500 companies.

However, the benefits of gender equality in leadership are clear.
