LGMA Management Challenge Pre-challenge report into gender equity
The much-anticipated outcomes report that summarises the key findings of the 2010 LGMA Pre-management Challenge task is now available for download from the LGMA and Year of Women in Local Government websites.
The pre-management challenge outcomes summary is an initiative of Local Government Managers Australia (LGMA), conducted with the support of the Commonwealth Office for Women. The summary represents a collation of key issues, challenges, recommendations and potential pathways forward as identified by 123 Council teams participating in the 2010 LGMA Pre-Challenge Task.
The summary also indentifies six (6) topics or themes which generally represent the foundation issues for women in Local Government, across Australia and New Zealand, including:
• Corporate culture and attitudes
• Limited communication and low equity awareness levels
• Minimal performance accounting and measurement
• Strong and often negative self perceptions of women
• Complexities of people management and leadership; and
• Scope, scale and diversity of family flexibility options and approaches.
