Employer Statement on the Gender Pay Gap: a journey with progress
Statements
At Standards Australia, we are steadfast in our commitment to achieving gender equality by closing the gender pay gap. Our goal is to make measurable progress in closing the gap over the long term, understanding that true equality is not achieved overnight but through consistent, purposeful action and ongoing dedication to the overall journey of equality.
Over the last WGEA reporting period, we have made meaningful progress in reducing our gender pay gap, which we believe is a positive step forward. For the 2022-23 reporting period Standards Australia’s gender pay gap was 17.1%, meaning on average, men were paid 17.1% more that women. In the 2023-24 reporting period, the pay gap has dropped to 15.9%. This reduction is a result of targeted actions implemented as part of our ongoing efforts to identify and address disparities within our workforce.
It is important to note that at Standards Australia we do not pay our employees differently for the same job based on gender. Our data indicates that we have a disproportionate concentration of men in the upper pay quartile and women in the lower pay quartile, which can drive a positive gender pay gap, where men are paid, on average, more than women. These insights are crucial in understanding the key drivers behind our current gender pay gap and allows us to take targeted actions where they will have the most impact and bridge the gap.
Moving forward, we are committed to setting measurable goals for progress and continuing our journey towards closing the gap. We will continue to track the results of our actions, and regularly review and adjust our strategies to ensure sustained progress. We will also rely on leadership, governance teams and our Employee Alliance Groups to remain at the forefront of driving this change, ensuring that gender equality remains a central priority at all levels of our organisation.
We look forward to continuing our work on this front and are committed to creating a truly inclusive workplace for the long term. We are confident that we will continue to make progress in closing the gap over the coming years.
