2023年国际妇女节
The theme for this years’ International Women’s Day is embracing equity; gender equity encompasses more than just equality.
At Saab, we are dedicated to creating a workplace that is equitable, diverse and inclusive. We recognise that embracing equity means celebrating the unique contributions that we each bring to work every day.
Meet Nadine, Caroline and Vanessa who tell us a little bit about their career journeys and what equity means to them:
NADINE: “I am a Change Manager at Saab Australia and I have been working here for a little over a year. This was a newly created role as the business recognised the need to increase their focus on the people aspects of significant change within the business, 对于一个快速发展的组织来说，哪一个是相当广泛和深入的.
多年来，我的职业生涯有了有机的发展, 我几乎没有什么计划(不建议你在家尝试)!)，这意味着我的职业生涯非常多样化. 在从事招聘工作之前，我是从行政部门开始的, general HR, 然后是能力，然后才是业务改进, logistics, manufacturing, 项目管理，最终是变更管理, 什么都学一点! I have worked in retail, non-for-profit, manufacturing, software development and now defence.”
CAROLINE: “I am a Project Manager in Saab Australia's Maritime division and have been in the defence industry for over 10 years, working as an engineer and project manager in Australia and abroad in advanced manufacturing, aerospace, 公民的安全, 海事及其他.
我的经验是管理产品和服务的生命周期, 从概念到交付和处置, 在信息和通信技术方面, infrastructure, 以及软硬件系统集成, 最近, 作战管理系统.
It’s very rewarding to be a part of projects that have strengthened industry capability via technology and knowledge transfer.”
VANESSA: “I am a Program Manager in Saab Australia's Land and Aerospace division and have been working at here for 24 years.
在十大正规博彩网站排名工作期间，我一直在陆地上工作, 海事和潜艇项目, 涵盖多种收购, support and R&D projects.”
对我来说，性别平等意味着……
NADINE: “没有偏见，无论是有意识的还是无意识的. 这意味着同工同酬，机会平等，期望平等，期望平等.
我们(女性)需要停止向皈依者传教. Morning teas, 午餐和由女性组织的活动, 对女性来说是伟大的, 但我们需要男人来管理这些活动, presented by men so they can lead other men to support gender equality transformation. 自言自语并不能真正改变游戏规则, 利用懂得平等的人, 女权主义者, 那些真正渴望男女平等的男性应该受到鼓励, 支持并能够推动对话并发起行动来推动变革. 有很多男性不仅支持性别平等，而且公开促进性别平等. 我们来利用它.”
CAROLINE: “这是公平和相互尊重, 认识到我们每个人都是独一无二的, 我们每个人的想法都不一样, 我们以不同的方式贡献和增加价值. 每个人都应该根据其优点和贡献来衡量和认可.
It means equal pay for equal work; education and awareness of unconscious bias; female role models in leadership roles; and diversity on hiring panels. It also requires leaders to ensure that hires, appointments and awards are merit-based.”
VANESSA: “意识到我们固有的偏见，并在行动之前检查它们. It means working to eliminate any barriers to participation for anyone, regardless of gender. As a female in a male-dominated industry this also means being visible to others who might want to follow a similar path.
To truly reach gender equality it’s important that we recognising our own biases and learn to set them aside as much as possible. Also, the reality is that most care roles/duties fall to women (but increasingly men too) so we need to make sure that we offer flexibility to make roles as attractive and workable for families and those with other carer responsibilities as possible – by offering flexibility that includes options such as working part-time, 在家办公, etc.”
那么我们要怎么做呢?
NADINE: “我对刚开始职业生涯的女性的建议是，确保自己坐在谈判桌前, 期望得到和房间里其他人一样的关注和声音. Remove your own unconscious bias about your contribution and place in the organisation as a priority. 对机会说“是”，然后再想办法.”
CAROLINE: “要有耐心，调整自己的节奏，因为任何事情都需要时间和奉献. Every challenge is an opportunity to grow so create and harness opportunities; shape and build your career.”
VANESSA: “建立你的人际网络, build each other up and support each other whether that’s within your friendship group, 你的公司或你的行业——这些都有帮助.”
