Inclusion and Diversity Research Report
The survey was conducted online in November and December 2014 and communicated by email to a sample of members of the Australian Human Resources Institute. A total of 1931 respondents completed the survey. Responses were treated anonymously.
Key Findings
A majority of respondents believe the CEO is primarily responsible for inclusion and diversity accountability.
Three quarters of respondents (76 per cent) regard gender as the main focus of inclusion and diversity strategy in their organisation.
Almost nine out of 10 respondent organisations (88 per cent) offer flexible hours.
Flexible work arrangements and relevant recruitment practices are the two main inclusion and diversity practices reported in respondent organisations.
Respondents agree that their organisation is not very strong on supporting working mothers, equal pay for men and women in the same roles, and support for younger workers.
Respondents list failure of support from leadership on inclusion and diversity as their greatest challenge, and also list winning support from the CEO as their greatest success.
The resources respondents most want from AHRI are useful case studies.
