Equileap is a leader in corporate gender equality research. It recently released its global gender equality report and ranking. This report explores data from 3,702 listed companies in 23 developed countries. In the report, the company entered the top 100 list based on the five basic pillars of gender equality and 19 criteria, including gender balance from the board of directors to employees, pay gap, leave-related policies, parents and sexual harassment, etc. PropTrack, Chief Audience and Marketing Officer and CEO of REA Group, shared three practical equality strategies that brands can adopt to bring more gender diversity to the workplace, and outlined REA’s efforts to be among the top 50 global gender equality companies Initiative. With the best intentions, companies still face very real obstacles in achieving gender equality in the workplace. Especially in the Asia-Pacific region, we are seeing slow progress. Even if companies begin to recognize the broader benefits of achieving gender equality, such as higher productivity and better financial returns, the problem is often not a lack of desire, but a lack of technical knowledge. Where to start, here I want to share the three lessons learned by the REA Group from promoting practical changes in gender equality in the workplace. These lessons have benefited both our company and our employees, and have made a broader impact on our culture.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

 contribute. Diversity and inclusion. A strategic asset We know that diversity drives creativity, higher efficiency, and especially innovation, because it inspires disruptive thinking. We don’t think that diversity is just something we have to do. In fact, we regard all aspects of diversification as the strategic assets of our business, as well as the assets that we are constantly striving to improve. If we want to better serve our customers and communicate in a way that resonates with them, we know that we need to build a workforce that reflects the diversity of our customers. You need people with various ideas, styles, experiences and lifestyles, and you need to empower them so that everyone has a place. Gender equality is a key component of this, especially when most of us are employed. In technology-based roles, industries traditionally dominated by men, and key areas where we focus on diversity. The REA Group focuses on three areas that help promote gender equality, which helps to change the diversity and inclusiveness of the watch face more broadly: Recognize the business value to achieve gender equality through formal policies and measured results, adopt a bottom-up approach Methods to provide fair benefits for all our employees. Develop plans and initiatives to promote continuous and significant change at the grassroots level. One person is next to illustrations in 3 areas that promote gender equality or in the workplace: formal policies, equal employee benefits, and grassroots initiatives1 . Demonstrate value with formal policies and transparent, measurable results The first step in driving change is to understand where you start, where you want to go, and how you will measure your progress.            

 

Measurement (and transparency of measurement) is essential to promote gender equality to ensure that the entire enterprise is aligned, working toward the same goals, and held accountable for achieving those goals. A lady next to the chart illustration. The REA Group monitors how many women in the organization hold higher levels and focuses on maintaining a 50:50 representation. We have clear gender-based goals in our technical roles for the purpose of the 22nd fiscal year , We seek 35% female representation in the technology community, and we disclose this data in the annual report published on our website every year. We also disclose our diversity and inclusion policy to the public. This helps us to send a clear message internally and externally, explaining our position and value as a company. Adopt a bottom-up approach and provide fair and thoughtful benefits Welfare that has a disproportionate impact on the female labor force has always been ignored by the entire industry. At REA, we focus on making these benefits fair in order to close some of the gender equality gaps that exist in society. For example, our parental leave policy provides 20 weeks of full pay for the primary caregiver, in addition to an additional six-week return to work bonus, and six weeks of leave for the secondary caregiver. We also provide REA nursing staff with flexible paternity leave to return to work. The working time is 75% of the agreed working time, but with full pay for the first four weeks. And understand their needs. This means bottom-up research methods and openness for continuous improvement of our working model. REA has been operating in a flexible environment for many years, and after the pandemic, we now operate as a mixed workplace. Our model is designed by our employees for our employees, and is the engine of overall diversity and inclusion                                               

 

Depending on your needs and the needs of your team, mixed work is slightly different for each of our employees. The person standing next to the scale. Regarding mixed workplaces, REA Group stated that employees told them that flexibility helps to establish a healthy balance between family responsibilities and workplace responsibilities. Sustainable change comes from grassroots initiatives In order to promote sustainable change, we must solve as many grassroots issues as possible. Our "Technology Springboard" program provides opportunities for women in the technology industry who would otherwise not be able to obtain these opportunities. We use this program to systematically solve the problems we see women face in the technical field, focusing on introducing women from non-technical roles into technical roles, leadership development, and continuous mentoring programs. Within three years, we increased the gender diversity index for women in technical positions from 20.4% to 30%. Hiring women in higher-level technical positions is still a challenge especially for the REA and the industry as a whole. Our business is expanding, and we provide many great opportunities for enthusiastic people from all walks of life. A word from the REA Group: In many ways, diversity in the workplace is a problem that we cannot solve completely on our own. But if we can, we must keep in mind gender balance and equality, especially in the development of our workforce. Finding, attracting and retaining diverse talents As a company, we are committed to eliminating unconscious biases at every step of the recruitment process. To ensure that we continue to hire people with different ideas, experiences and backgrounds. Our postgraduate courses are one of the ways we attract top technical talent to join OER, so we make sure that our goal is to achieve a 50:50 gender balance on the shortlist. , Final offer and interview panel. We also have a strong combination of full-time and part-time positions at all levels to meet the requirements of work-life balance. According to my experience, this method attracts powerful talents and forms a high-performance, creative, collaborative and happy team. Finally, in addition to our benefits, we have also established a formal system to ensure that the hard work and commitment of our employees are recognized. Practice our values. The monthly awards nominated by peers allow our employees to recognize peers who truly support the company's values, many of which are derived from diversity and inclusion. Gender diversity is just one aspect of a diverse organization. Being inclusive in the workplace does not mean you need to try to do everything at once. Start with small steps: formalize and communicate your approach, let your employees become the center of the design process, and prepare you for future changes by focusing on solving more grassroots challenges.

Logistics UK, which represents freight firms, says Brexit and Covid-19 caused lorry drivers to leave the UK, but a temporary visa could lure them back.

It said a similar visa scheme granted 30,000 permits for agriculture workers.

However, the government says employers must invest in the UK workforce.

The Road Haulage Association said this summer there was a shortfall of about 60,000 lorry drivers in the UK and it's recently contributed to shortages of everything from milk to Haribo sweets.

Supermarkets such as Tesco and Aldi have been offering bonuses and other incentives to boost recruitment, but the labour squeeze continues.

Analysis of the latest ONS Labour Force Survey for the second quarter suggests that 14,000 EU lorry drivers left jobs in the UK in the year to June 2020, and only 600 had returned by July 2021.

Alex Veitch, general manager of public policy at Logistics UK, said the thousands of EU drivers who left the UK due to Brexit and the pandemic were vital to the movement of goods around the country and beyond.

"Logistics is facing a long-term shortage of staff, which has been made much worse by the loss of our EU workforce," he said.

"While we wait for new recruits to complete their training, which can take up to nine months, the logical solution would be to introduce a temporary visa scheme to keep the vehicles moving. After all, there is no point in picking and packing food if there is no one available to move it to buyers."

A government spokesperson said in response to the push for temporary visas: "The British people repeatedly voted to end free movement and take back control of our immigration system and employers should invest in our domestic workforce instead of relying on labour from abroad.

"We recently announced a package of measures to help tackle the HGV driver shortage, including plans to streamline the process for new drivers to gain their HGV licence and to increase the number of tests able to be conducted.

"We have also temporarily relaxed drivers' hours rules to allow HGV drivers to make slightly longer journeys, but these must only be used where necessary and must not compromise driver safety."
