Gender Network
The Gender Network is for women, men and non-binary people who are passionate about advancing equity and inclusion. It is a network where people show up, regardless of rank and background, and everyone takes responsibility for building a strong community, driving positive change, and celebrating our people who are making a difference.
The Network provides regular opportunities for members to meet, expand their networks, build relationships, and discuss current issues. We invest in diverse talent for balanced and equitable representation in leadership and commercial areas of focus.
Women in Tech (WiT) Network
We are committed to creating an inclusive culture to successfully harness technology’s potential and truly transform society. By educating women and girls, incubating their leadership potential and innovating new ways to empower a diverse technical workforce, we are dedicated to closing the gender gap in technology and creating an environment where everyone can succeed.
Champions of Change
EY joined the Champions of Change Coalition in 2016. The Champions of Change Coalition is a globally recognised, innovative strategy for achieving gender equality, advancing more and diverse women in leadership, and building respectful and inclusive workplaces
Women in Leadership Programs
We invest in diverse talent for balanced and equitable representation in leadership and commercial areas of focus. Research suggests that without deliberate focus, these opportunities can be delivered in a biased way that is not gender-balanced. Therefore, we have tailored Women in Leadership programs:
- Accelerate sponsorship program: Designed for women who are Senior Managers and Directors to accelerate the next generation of women in leadership and future partners. Accelerate won “Best Leadership Development Program” at the Australian HR Awards 2020. It focuses on providing access to experiences and sponsorship generally less available to women.
- Women Athletes Business Network: Created to address the gap in leadership development for internationally competitive women athletes as they transition from competitor to professional. A combination of mentorship and formal training, the women selected to participate in this program come from the highest ranks of sport and are mostly focused on building entrepreneurial capabilities.
