NADINE: “我是星际网赌导航澳大利亚公司的变革经理,我在这里工作了一年多一点. 这是一个新创建的角色,因为企业认识到需要增加对业务中重大变化的人员方面的关注, 对于一个快速发展的组织来说,哪一个是相当广泛和深入的.

My career has organically evolved over the years, 我几乎没有什么计划(不建议你在家尝试)!),这意味着我的职业生涯非常多样化.  在从事招聘工作之前,我是从行政部门开始的, general HR, 然后是能力,然后才是业务改进, logistics, manufacturing, project management and ultimately change management, so really a bit of everything! 我曾在零售业、非营利组织、制造业、软件开发行业工作,现在是国防行业.”

CAROLINE: “我是星际网赌导航澳大利亚海事部门的项目经理,在国防工业工作了10多年, 在澳大利亚和国外从事先进制造业的工程师和项目经理工作, aerospace, civil security, maritime and more.

我的经验是管理产品和服务的生命周期, from concept through to delivery and disposal, in information and communication technology, infrastructure, and software and hardware systems integrations, and more recently, combat management systems.

通过技术和知识的转移,成为增强行业能力的项目的一部分是非常值得的.”

VANESSA: “我是星际网赌导航澳大利亚陆地和航空航天部门的项目经理,已经在这里工作了24年.  

Over my time at Saab I’ve worked on land, maritime and submarine projects, covering a mix of acquisition, support and R&D projects.”

 

To me, gender equity means…

NADINE: “The absence of bias, either conscious or unconscious.  这意味着同工同酬,机会平等,期望平等,期望平等.

We (women) need to stop preaching to the converted. Morning teas, lunches and events run by women, for women is great, but we need these events to be run by men and, 由男性提出,这样他们就可以领导其他男性支持性别平等转型. Talking to ourselves is not really a game changer, leveraging men who understand equality, men who are feminists, 那些真正渴望男女平等的男性应该受到鼓励, 支持并能够推动对话并发起行动来推动变革. 有很多男性不仅支持性别平等,而且公开促进性别平等. Let’s harness that.”

CAROLINE: “It’s fairness and respect for each other, recognising that each of us is unique, we each think differently, we contribute and add value in different ways. 每个人都应该根据其优点和贡献来衡量和认可.

It means equal pay for equal work; education and awareness of unconscious bias; female role models in leadership roles; and diversity on hiring panels. 它还要求领导者确保招聘、任命和奖励都是基于绩效的.”

VANESSA: “意识到我们固有的偏见,并在行动之前检查它们. 这意味着努力消除任何阻碍任何人参与的障碍,无论性别如何. 在一个男性主导的行业中,作为一名女性,这也意味着要让那些可能想要走类似道路的人看到.

为了真正实现性别平等,重要的是我们要认识到自己的偏见,并学会尽可能地把它们放在一边. Also, 现实情况是,大多数护理角色/职责都落在了女性身上(但也有越来越多的男性),所以我们需要确保我们提供的灵活性,使角色对家庭和那些有其他护理责任的人来说尽可能有吸引力和可行——通过提供灵活性,包括兼职等选择, working from home, etc.”

 

So how do we get there?

NADINE: “我对刚开始职业生涯的女性的建议是,确保自己坐在谈判桌前, 期望得到和房间里其他人一样的关注和声音. 消除你对自己在公司的贡献和地位的无意识偏见. Say yes to opportunity and figure out the how later.”

CAROLINE: “要有耐心,调整自己的节奏,因为任何事情都需要时间和奉献. Every challenge is an opportunity to grow so create and harness opportunities; shape and build your career.” 

VANESSA: “Build your networks, 无论是在你的朋友圈里,都要互相建立和支持, your company or your industry – it all helps.”
