Last week, The Diversity Council Australia released some ground breaking research into the barriers facing culturally diverse women in Australia. Check it out here:

CULTURALLY DIVERSE WOMEN AS AMBITIOUS, CAPABLE AND RESILIENT.

• Ambitious. 88% of culturally diverse female talent we surveyed planned to advance to a very senior role and 91% said that working in a job that offered mobility to leadership was extremely or very important.

• Capable. Two thirds (66%) of culturally diverse female talent spoke a language other than English when at home, and over a third (37%) had a bi/multicultural identity, in which they identify with more than one cultural background and so are able to communicate or ‘broker’ across cultural contexts.

• Resilient. Culturally diverse women reported that their personal resilience had been key to them retaining their leadership aspirations in the face of the career locks they had experienced.

LOCKED OUT OF LEADERSHIP.

• Under-Leveraged. Only 15% of participants strongly agreed that their organisation took advantage
of workforce diversity to better service clients or access new markets.

• Under-Valued. While 88% of culturally diverse women planned to advance to a very senior role, only 10% strongly agreed that their leadership traits were recognised or that their opinions were valued and respected.

• Moving On. 28%of culturally diverse women stated it was likely they would seek a job with another employer within the next year.
