Transdev Australia has marked International Women’s Day this year by launching a Gender Equality Action Plan with new female participation and leadership targets as well as a new program to elevate senior female leaders.
Trandsev’s inaugural equality action plan outlines how Transdev will become an even more inclusive employer with actions to improve the gender balance and female participation rates in the next three years. Some of the targets include:
- increasing the share of female drivers to 20% across Australia and New Zealand (currently 10% in Australia and 15% in New Zealand)
- increasing the number of top female leaders to 35% by 2025.
Transdev’s Chief Financial Officer and Inclusion Ambassador, Alexia Gontier, said Transdev valued the contributions of women in the industry and was actively encouraging growth in their careers.
Mrs Gontier said Transdev’s Gender Equality Action Plan included targets not only for workforce participation but also increased communication, mentorship and networking opportunities for women.
