ROSSJULIAROSS LAUNCHES COMPREHENSIVE DIVERSITY RESEARCH



Globally recognised recruitment and HR specialist RossJuliaRoss is proud to announce a new research project designed to measure and report, from a unique multilateral perspective, on Workplace Diversity in major Australian corporations, with the launch of the inaugural RossJuliaRoss Diversity Report commencing in early February 2010.

Unlike a number of reports currently available, this new research will measure not only the proportion of females in the boardroom and in the management team, but will also report on the progress of ASX 300 companies in other components of diversity significant to the future, such as:

  • the age of boards
  • the proportion of indigenous Australians employed by our largest corporations
  • the prevalence of workers with a disability in the workforces of our largest corporations; and
  • their proportion of culturally and linguistically diverse workers

Julia Ross, Managing Director, RossJuliaRoss says, “As a public company director with decades of HR experience gathered from around the world, it greatly concerns me to see the loss of opportunity that is simply not being addressed by policy makers and corporations in Australia. Corporate failure to take advantage of the full breadth of human endeavour that our community has to offer, results in significant productivity losses; negative effects in the community; and social and economic disadvantage. Consequent on the lack of diversity that characterises our workforces – especially at management levels – everyone is losing out, including those corporations.

“We hope that by bringing together in one comprehensive report, a number of important components of the important diversity equation, policy makers and corporate leaders will use it as a tool on which to base real action for Australia’s future. I am extremely happy that RossJuliaRoss has the opportunity to support the crucial research that will be reported in the RossJuliaRoss Diversity Report, and that the results will be widely used to gain insight into diversity within the Australian workforce,” Ms Ross concluded. Founded in 1988, RossJuliaRoss is a globally recognised organisation specialising in recruitment and specialist human resources services along with a growing number of outsource services including; payroll, management, technology and HR consulting with offices in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, London and Dublin.
