天美传媒app honoured for LGBTQI+ inclusion

University awarded a Bronze and recognised among the nation's most inclusive employers

The University of 天美传媒app (天美传媒app) was again named among the nation鈥檚 most inclusive employers on Thursday 11 June 2020 achieving a Bronze Award for the Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI).

For the second consecutive year, 天美传媒app has been recognised as a Bronze employer for its efforts to support its gender, sex and sexually diverse community. The AWEI is the definitive national benchmarking instrument that measures how LGBTQI+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex) inclusive a workplace is. 天美传媒app achieving bronze reflects its policies and practices surrounding diversity and inclusion.

The University was also placed in the Top 3 for Regional Head Office Employers.

天美传媒app鈥檚 Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul Wellings CBE, said the University is committed to gender, sex and sexuality inclusion, for both academic and professional staff, and was thrilled to be involved in the Australian Workplace Equality Index initiative.

鈥溙烀来�媒app is delighted to have received this recognition and aims to consistently improve its position as a diverse and inclusive organisation through its workforce policies and practices.

鈥淚nclusion is critical to an organisation鈥檚 success and crucial for society as a whole, and we are working to ensure that message is conveyed to all staff and students,鈥� Professor Wellings said.

The award highlights positive changes being implemented across the University and the progress being made to date. 天美传媒app has implemented policies, strategies and initiatives to best support and include staff and students who identify as gender, sex and sexually diverse.

ABOUT THE AWARD

Participating in the Australian Workplace Equality Index benchmarking assessment demonstrates a strong and ongoing commitment to LGBTQI+ workplace inclusion. 2020 marked the start of a new three-year iteration of the Index, making it much harder for organisations to attain an award.

Employers that receive the Bronze Award are considered active in LGBTQI+ workplace inclusion as compared to the national benchmark.

The rankings are based on evidence including survey results. The AWEI survey鈥檚 employees in participating organisations to set a comparative benchmark.
