CEDA together with Finlaysons, UniSA and Nab are delighted to welcome you to the launch of CEDA's 2014 Women and Leadership Series, with a critical discussion on the importance of deiversity with the workplace.
Event overview
Join CEDA, Nareen Young, former CEO, Diversity Council, Raymond Spencer, Chair, Economic Development Board, Chair, SAHMRI and Professor Marie Wilson, Pro Vice Chancellor (Business & Law), University of South Australia
At CEDA's event speakers will talk about their leadership story and the critical need for a diverse workforce and what it can mean for your organisations bottom line, productivity, morale and sustainability.
As highlighted in CEDA's 2013 research report, Women in Leadership, Australia is a diverse nation with an equally diverse talent pool. It has an abundance of the skills required to engage with the opportunities that globalisation and the Asian century afford.
At a time when productivity challenges and a shortage of skilled executive talent constitute a risk to future competiveness, Australian business can ill afford to ignore the breadth of its talent pool. In respect of its female labour force, Australia ranks poorly in its capacity to translate investment in education into economic participation and political empowerment.
