ECU proudly continues to co-sponsor CEDA’s Women in Leadership series in 2018. Entitled ‘The CEO panel – diversity beyond gender’, the theme for this session delivered a diverse range of opinions and solutions to a full house including several ECU staff members and leaders.
Chaired by ECU’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Strategic Partnerships), Professor Cobie Rudd, the event included some of Australia’s longest standing companies discussing what is required of leadership to develop and support a truly diverse workforce.
Asset President for WA, Edgar Basto from BHP reminded the audience that diversity is good for everyone and that it brings greater harmony and prosperity to the workplace. Rebecca Tomkinson, CEO of the Royal Flying Doctors Service, spoke of the link between diversity and innovation and the opportunities that this brings to organisations and society. Activ Foundation CEO, Danielle Newport powerfully illustrated the impact of diversity and the need for fairness in our community through individual stories. Group CEO Terry Agnew for RAC WA spoke on the three pillars the organisation are focusing on to deliver diversity. He noted that by creating a plan and systematically actioning it, the results will be seen.
At the close of the event, CEDA State Director, Paula Rogers reiterated the challenge from the panel, for everyone to think about what they will do differently to embrace the ‘strength of possibility’. Using the example of 350 people attending, the audience considered the positive impact it would have on making real change.
