Quote
Business in Australia is failing on the issue of gender equality, with the old boys network, unfair pay levels and a failure to provide family-friendly work practices continuing to stifle progress.

"This is catastrophically wasteful given the ageing of the population and the skills shortage we face. Business leaders should treat gender equality like any other business problem: measure it; set a target, ideally public; then take steps to reach the target."

...Glen Boreham, IBM Australia Managing Director speaking at EOWA Business Achievement Awards, 10th November 2010.

The 2012 EOCFW List was announced on the 13th March 2012

Access the current EOCFW list here.

Women-friendly, non-government organisations with Equal Opportunity (EO) programs that recognise and advance their female workforce can brand and position themselves in the marketplace as an 'EOWA Employer of Choice for Women' (EOCFW).

In 2012 there will be no EOWA Employer of Choice for Women (EOCFW) application process for a 2013 list. This will enable the Agency to review the citation during this time in light of the changes reflected in the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency Amendment Bill 2012 tabled in parliament in March 2012.

Helen Conway speaks at the 2012 EOCFW celebration in MelbourneOrganisations on the 2012 EOWA Employer of Choice for Women (EOCFW) list have been awarded the citation for two years.

Organisations must advise EOWA immediately if, subsequent to receiving the EOCFW citation, a judgement or adverse final order is made against it by a court or other tribunal relating to gender discrimination or harassment. This will result in the organisation's EOCFW status being rescinded.

Organisations whose achievements have been acknowledged by this award, can use this citation in their recruitment, advertising and other company promotional material.

This prestigious citation provides significant positioning in a competitive marketplace, particularly when a company is seeking to attract the best possible talent.

The 'EOWA Employer of Choice for Women' citation allows organisations to differentiate themselves from their competitors and achieve public acknowledgment of their efforts in the area of equal opportunity for women.
