Step 2. Analyse the Issues See the Act
Analyse your workplace to identify what issues there are for women
in your workplace. You will need to consider each of the Employment
Matters in this process.This analysis step includes a list of
questions to check which issues are relevant to your workplace.
Use information gathered from the Workplace Profile, Consultation and HR
Statistics to answer the Employment Matter questions based on evidence
collected - and accurately determine where in the workplace there are
issues to address for women.
Step 2 Outcome: Know what the Issues are for women.
At the end of this step you should know what the issues are for women in
your organisation, as well as the overall people priorities for your
organisation. You will also need to assign responsibility for actioning
these issues to a senior manager.
The Analysis has three parts:
- Gather information and analysis of issues received through
employee
consultation.
- Analyse your
HR statistics
& your HR policies and practices relevant to the 7 Employment
Matters
- Identify issues for women by answering the
analysis questions under the 7 Employment Matters.
When analysing your issues the key things to consider are:
- What is, and is not, working well for women in this workplace?
- Why? What are the reasons for women doing well, or the reasons
they are not doing as well as men?
- How can things be improved so more women can fulfil their
potential
What to include in your report?
See the Act
You will need to provide information on:
- How you analysed your workplace to identify the issues for
women; and
- What the Equal Opportunity issues for women are in your
organisation.
- The level of investigation will vary depending on the
company's specific circumstances (for example, if your company
is down-sizing you may spend more time analysing retrenchment
rather than recruitment data).
