Text Content
Lauren is a sales associate at a real estate company. While most people in the company have similar qualifications and experience, men are more readily promoted and are in higher paid management roles. Women and gender diverse people in the company are often overlooked for training and promotion, with many remaining in lower paid support roles. The owner of the real estate company may be influenced by unconscious biases and gender stereotypes. The biases and stereotypes may be about women who want to start a family in the future, are pregnant, work part-time or have recently returned from maternity leave. These have led to women missing out on opportunities for promotion, being excluded from training and development or not taking on leadership roles. fairwork.gov.au | Fair Work Infoline: 13 13 94 | ABN: 43 884 188 232
