Today Arup has once again been recognised for our commitment and best practice in promoting gender equality in the workplace in the annual Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) announcement of Employers of Choice for Gender Equality.

The citation is designed to encourage, recognise and promote active commitment to achieving gender equality in Australian workplaces.

“

We are very pleased to receive this citation once again and continue to develop strategies, processes and policies that ensure Arup continues to be a more diverse and inclusive organisation. ” Peter Bailey Peter Bailey Principal and Trustee Director

Encouragingly, more than 100 diverse organisations met the very high standard required to receive the citation this year, up from 90 last year.

Criteria for the citation cover leadership, learning and development, gender remuneration gaps, flexible working and other initiatives to support family responsibilities, employee consultation, preventing sex-based harassment and discrimination and targets for improving gender equality outcomes. Criteria are strengthened each year to reflect best practice.
