Talent X RCSA Insights: Elevating Recruitment Through Genuine Diversity Commitment
Kaizen Recruitment extends our appreciation for the privilege to participate in this year’s Talent X RCSA event and share invaluable insights!
Gathered among over 750 partners, vendors, and industry insiders, the event served as a vibrant platform for collaboration and learning. Our very own Amanda Chisholm illuminated key insights into how Kaizen Recruitment’s dedication to guiding clients on authentic diversity initiatives can disrupt competitors in a demanding yet challenging recruitment landscape.
The Diversity Gap
The presentation commenced by confronting the stark reality of the gender pay gap prevalent across industries with data provided by the WGEA. This issue deeply resonates with us, particularly within our realm, where the gender gap in financial services exceeds that of other sectors in Australia by 7.1%.
Identified as common drivers of the gender pay gap are:
- Male dominance in leadership, female prevalence in junior positions
- Male majority in high-paying roles, female concentration in low-paying positions
- Disproportionate part-time work engagement
- Inequitable employee mobility
Our Partnership
In response, Kaizen initiates deliberate dialogues on mitigating risks for companies’ boards and executive teams, encouraging them to cultivate a diverse workforce empowered to innovate and make informed decisions supported by varied perspectives. Team members who see that their organisation fosters a diverse and inclusive environment boost overall team performance, thereby driving heightened profitability.
Our approach to nurturing diversity partnerships entails close collaboration with HR and TA teams to identify avenues for embedding diversity within their organisations and strengthening their Employer Value Proposition (EVP).
