Women's Health Grampians is supporting women in the region to enter and excel in trades jobs through its Act On Site program.
The program aims to create safe, healthy and equitable workplaces for all.
Act On Site works with trade companies to become an employer of choice for a more gender diverse workforce. It enables businesses to address skills shortages by encouraging a wider pool of candidates to join.
Act On Site includes different action areas to help companies make change, including:
- hiring and promotion practices
- healthy workplace culture
- mentoring and support
- workplace policies and procedures.
A core element of the program is the development and implementation of company specific action plans. The actions are tracked over 9 to 12 months to assess the progress made.
