Seven West Media has been announced in the Workplace Gender Equality Agency’s cohort of WGEA Employer of Choice for Gender Equality (EOCGE) citation holders.
WGEA’s EOCGE citation is a voluntary citation that recognises employers’ efforts to combat key drivers of workplace gender inequality. These drivers include but are not limited to, gender bias in recruitment and promotions, inequalities in pay, access to flexible work and parental leave, and sexual discrimination and harassment.
Seven West Media has held its citation for 2 years now after being named the first Australian media company to hold the citation back in 2022.
“Seven West Media recognises the benefits of an inclusive and respectful workplace culture that draws on the experiences, diversity and perspectives of our people to ensure that our business remains innovative and sustainable and continues to meet the needs of our stakeholders and audiences,” a spokesperson for Seven West Media told B&T.
“We view diversity through a broad lens of difference in people across gender, nationality, ethnicity, physical abilities, sexual orientation, body type, gender identity, generation/age, disability, socio-economic status, religious belief, parental status, professional and educational background as well as global and cultural experiences.
“In March 2022, Seven West Media became the first media company in Australia to be awarded a citation as Employer of Choice for gender equality by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA). The criteria for the citation are rigorous and we were one of just 12 companies across Australia to be added as an employer having achieved gender equality in the workplace in that year. Seven’s commitment to diversity, equality and inclusion will continue,” the spokesperson said.
