Incitec Pivot Limited (IPL) has been selected for the 2019 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI) which distinguishes companies committed to transparency in gender reporting and advancing women’s equality. Jeanne Johns, IPL Managing Director & CEO said “I am a great believer in having the right people in the right roles, regardless of gender or cultural background. Earning our place on the Bloomberg’s 2019 Gender Equality Index is testament of our Company Values and One IPL collaborative agenda”. “As a multi-geography and multi-cultural company, we have focused on strengthening company-wide collaboration, increasing employee engagement and expanding the diversity of our workforce to increase gender diversity by 10 percent year on year. But this is more than meeting a metric or measure, it’s about working in partnership with our customers on site to implement real and sustainable progress. We took an innovative approach, researching the local talent pool and developing family friendly rosters, resulting in a sites with one of the highest female representations in the field, and on the front line. Partnering with our customers to attract and retain the right talent is vital in creating a world class, diverse workforce that improves performance and increases customer value”, Ms Johns added.
Bloomberg Gender Equality Index includes companies from 10 sectors headquartered across 36 countries and regions. Bloomberg’s standardized reporting framework offers public companies the opportunity to disclose information on how they promote gender equality across four separate areas – company statistics, policies, community engagement and products and services. Reporting companies that score above a globally-established threshold, based on the extent of disclosures and the achievement of best-in-class statistics and policies, are included in the GEI. Demand for products and services using ESG data has seen a significant increase over the last years. But still, currently only 10% of eligible companies are disclosing their workplace gender policies and practices. Disclosures from firms included in the 2019 GEI provide a wide-ranging and comprehensive look at how companies around the world are investing in women. According to GEI data:
• Women had a 40% increase in executive level positions between fiscal years 2014-2017.
• 60% of firms conduct compensation reviews to identify gender-based variations in pay to close their average 20% pay gap (18% on average in the Americas, Europe, Africa and Middle East regions and 26% in Asia-Pacific).
• 34% have programs in place to recruit women looking to return to work after a career break.
• For U.S. employees, the average number of weeks of fully paid primary leave offered is 13 weeks, and the average number of weeks of fully paid secondary leave offered is 5 weeks.
• 43% of firms cover gender reassignment services in health insurance plans.
• 68% of firms evaluate all advertising and marketing content for gender biases prior to publication.
Dünya Ekonomik Forumu’nun 2019 Cinsiyet Eşitliği Raporu’na göre politika, ekonomi, sağlık ve eğitim arasındaki toplumsal cinsiyet farkının kapatılmasının üç yıl içinde ilk kez daraldığı tespit edildi. Bu yıl ki yörüngeye göre, geçen yıl hesaplanan 108 yıla kıyasla bu açığı kapatmak 99.5 yıl sürecek.
Ekonomik fırsat açığı, geçen yılın 202 yılda kapanacakken bu yıl 257 yıla genişleyerek kötüleşti. Raporda, bu açığı kapatmanın en büyük zorluklarından birinin kadınların bulut bilişim, mühendislik, veri ve Yapay Zeka gibi yeni ortaya çıkan rollerde yetersiz temsil edilmesi olduğu tespit edildi.
Türkiye ise raporda 2018'de 153 ekonomi arasında 130'uncu sırada yer alıyor. İşte bazı öne çıkanlar şöyle;
• Türkiye, dünya sıralamasında benzer işlerdeki ücret eşitliği sıralamasında 106’ıncı,
• Ekonomik katılım ve fırsat eşitliğinde 136’ıncı
• Siyasi yetkilendirmede 109’uncu ve bakanlık pozisyonundaki kadınların yüzdesinde ise 113’ıncı
• Eğitimsel kazanımda dünyada 113’uncu,
• Sağlık ve hayatta kalmada 64’uncu sırada yer alıyor.
