Subject: Official Information request - Employment Equity

 

Dear State Services Commission,

 

I am interested in employment equity and fairness

 

Please quantify your gender paygap (if possible not just binary
male-female but incorporating other gender identifications too). Please
also give numbers of your employees are of which genders at each tier of
your hierarchy.

 

Please also provide the same information regarding the other following
demographics (to the extent that it is held, it is understood that you may
not have all of this data):

Marital status

Religious belief

Ethical belief

Ethnic origins

National origins

Disability

age

Political opinion

Employment status immediately prior to be employed by yourselves Sexual
orientation Physical appearance/body type characteristics

 

Please explain what you are doing to actively address any disparities in
any of these areas.

 

Please explain how you go about preventing and combating conscious
discrimination and prejudice in these areas.

 

Please explain how you go about preventing and combating unconscious
discrimination and prejudice in these areas.

 

Please be aware that providing policy documents that state these
discriminations and prejudices are not acceptable does not constitute an
answer to these queries. Policy documents are not action. What actual
actions are you taking.

 

Please explain how you go about preventing and combating wrongful
interpersonal behaviour such as workplace bullying and harassment even if
it is not specific to any of these demographics.

 

Please provide for the last seven years how many complaints of conscious
or unconscious discrimination, bullying, harassment, sexual harassment
have been made. Also please provide the number of times people raised
these incidents but did not lodge a formal complaint.

Please explain how many of these cases were investigated and whether they
were investigated by your own people or external parties. Please explain
how you decide if an internal or external person is suitably qualified and
skilled and has the integrity needed for the investigation.

Please explain what actions have been taken against the perpetrators whose
actions gave rise to the complaints. 

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Lesley Harbern
