Research shows that when organisations value diversity and inclusion it leads to greater staff satisfaction, better customer service and improved decision making and performance. The workforce is more connected, motivated and productive.
Our approach to building workforce diversity and inclusion is set out in the Workforce Diversification and Inclusion Strategy for WA Public Sector Employment 2020–2025.
This establishes our collective intent to drive change and provides a common language for how we talk about diversity and inclusion across the public sector.
The strategy is supported by action plans for 6 identified diversity groups and sets aspirational targets that are challenging but crucial to drive change.
| Diversity group | Aspirational target |
|---|---|
| Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people | 3.7% |
| Culturally and linguistically diverse people | 15.5% |
| People with disability | 5.0% |
| People of diverse sexualities and genders | No set target |
| Women in the Senior Executive Service | 50.0% |
| Youth | 5.8% |
