The Diversity Council of Australia has identified what they see as a “glaring omission” in employment-related research and statistics which their new survey hopes to fill. This diversity-stalling gap is a “need for better access to systematic and reliable information on employment and diversity related workplace trends”. The ADC claims that since the demise of the Australian Workplace Industrial Relations Survey this information is difficult to obtain.
I’ve also felt the gap between employer understanding, recent research findings and feedback from women. At sphinxx, part of our work is to source feedback directly from our network and communicate it to employers. This has been really effective for in depth studies, and I’m really excited about the broad scope of the project that the DCA is undertaking.
