Now, here’s another angle of the Gender issue

On the other hand, this is another way of looking at the picture –

BRW Leadership writer Leo D’Angelo Fisher’s recent blog called 'Gender nonsense' http://tinyurl.com/4a895pf states that “there’s a buck or a profile or very often both to be made by pushing the gender barrow”. He goes on to say that most Australian companies needs be recognised as a company that respects gender diversity at all levels and therefore now will have to do more than just tick the boxes to say they are doing things right. From 2013 the Federal Government has foreshadowed a new gender equity regime which will require companies of more than 100 people to meet with as yet unspecified criteria in the areas of workplace gender equality. Companies that fail the new audit regime will be barred from tendering for government supply contracts.”

So now, people will HAVE to comply to the rules if they want to play in the sandpit. I would have hoped rather by educating people to broaden their awareness, thinking and experience at different levels of business and industry, they would forget about gender and see the right people in the job is more important.

The more we focus on Gender, I think the more we keep things separate. Is it just the “new black” being made white in the public eye so that people loose sight of what really matters –that is the people not the gender.

Oh dear, back to the dishes…..and back to the drawingBOARD!
