Our focus on gender equality
In 2015, Caltex received a citation from the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) recognising Caltex as a WGEA Employer of Choice for Gender Equality.
The citation demonstrates Caltex’s leadership in diversity while recognising our commitment and best practice in promoting gender equality within the workplace.
The ground-breaking BabyCare workplace initiative launched by Caltex in 2012 has led to a 25% increase in the number of women successfully transitioning back to work and developing their careers after having a baby. The BabyCare package, one of the first of its kind in Australia, is just one of many initiatives that contributed to Caltex's recognition as an Employer of Choice for Gender Equality.
Caltex has taken some big strides in improving its gender equality over recent years and the journey continues. We have a negligible gender pay differential of 1.8% on a like-for-like basis and significant progress has been made towards our goal to increase the number of female senior leaders across the organisation (one in four in 2015 and we are now on-track to make it one in three in 2016).
Committed to increasing the representation of women in senior positions, we are strengthening our talent pipeline by providing development and promotion opportunities. By monitoring key gender metrics and developing innovative initiatives such as our BabyCare package, our aim is to continuously build the capability of our leaders to ensure we remain an Employer of Choice.
