Hostplus is dedicated to fostering and maintaining a diverse and inclusive workforce that values the variety of perspectives, backgrounds, and life experiences of our 350 employees.
We recognise that by doing so we not only create a workplace environment that enables our employees to succeed but also better positions us to serve the broad diversity of members we represent.
Addressing the gender pay gap is an important part of this effort and an ongoing priority towards which we continue to make demonstrative progress.
This progress is evidenced by the notable reduction in our gender pay gap between 2022-23 and 2023-24, as well as the recorded increases in the number of women in managerial and key management personnel positions over the same period.
Other actions and initiatives we have undertaken include:
- The establishment of a pay rebalancing program, which resulted in a salary uplift for 19 employees in 2024 and is on track to be rolled out again in 2025.
- The development of a program of work for our high potential employees with a focus on supporting the growth of female leadership talent.
- The introduction of more targeted talent acquisition activities to better position roles to female applicants.
Hostplus is proud of our flexible work policy and generous leave provisions, including our Paid Parental Leave policy, and superannuation contributions for the duration of a parental absence up to 12 months.
The Hostplus Board and executive leadership team acknowledge the progress that has been made but recognise that there is more work to be done. We remain steadfast in our commitment to ensuring that our remuneration practices are equitable and inclusive for all employees to continuously improve our gender pay gap.
