It’s not often we take time to take stock and think about how far Australia has come in terms of understanding and respecting the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion to our workplaces.
But there’s little doubt the workplace of today is vastly different from even the recent past.
When it comes to doing business though, in 2022 it is clear and the evidence is conclusive — diverse workplaces outperform.
Great Place to Work® research shows that diversity and inclusion bring higher revenue growth, greater innovation, easier recruitment and higher retention.
But what can you do — today — in your own organisation?
For this month’s edition of our insights newsletter we spoke with Lisa Annese, chief executive officer of the Diversity Council of Australia, to hear where Australian workplaces are up to on the road to true diversity and inclusion — and to understand what more needs to be done.
In this two part blog series we share these latest insights as well as actionable steps that anyone can take to improve diversity and inclusion at their workplace.
Great Place to Work is the global authority on workplace culture, if you’d like to talk to us about topics like D&I or any of our programs such as how to be considered for Australia’s Best Workplaces™ for Women List, then get in touch today.

Multinationals also receive additional credit for their efforts to successfully create an excellent workplace culture in multiple countries in the region. The data used in the calculation of the regional list comes from national lists published in 2019 and early 2020.
