In 2010 one of our clients, Telstra, became the first Australian organisation to win a Catalyst award from the global peak body for expanding opportunities for women and business. Both Catalyst and Telstra acknowledged how valuable our solutions were in growing Telstra’s women in management and executive roles and influencing the development of a diversity-rich culture. As a result of our our world-class best practices we were the only supplier invited to speak at the 2010 global Catalyst conference. 

 

I am very pleased to have welcomed the new year with the news that our long standing client, the Commonwealth Bank has won a Catalyst Award in the US. Catalyst is the peak body for women in leadership globally and has been at the forefront of research and advocacy in this space for many years. CBA is our second client to win a Catalyst award – and the second Australian company to do so. Telstra was the first in 2010. This is a landmark in terms of Australia’s progress in the gender diversity space. We are proud that CBA has been a client of emberin since 2006 and we look forward to continuing our work with them. Their dedication and determination to succeed in the gender diversity space has been consistent for all the years that I have worked with them. Read More
