As one of Bravura's core values, embracing diversity and supporting gender equality is a key business priority. As stated in our published Diversity policy, our corporate culture promotes the principles of merit and fairness in relation to decisions about recruitment, development, promotion, remuneration and flexible work arrangements.

Our global recruitment policy launched in 2020 has a strong focus on equal opportunity.

At all levels of the business, recruitment and selection practices are appropriately structured so that candidates are guarded against conscious or unconscious biases, including the de-coding of job adverts to ensure language is gender-neutral and the adoption of a consistent approach to gender balanced interview and selection panels where possible. It is our stated intention to also ensure gender balance in the shortlisting of candidates.

The identification and development of our female talent is supported by internal processes such as talent mapping, succession planning and management development programs, while our Career Framework provides the structure that enables workforce planning, talent management and provides female employees with the guidance to identify progression opportunities and take ownership of their individual career journeys. Pilot initiatives such as mentoring, unconscious bias training and 'Plus One' where Senior Managers select a female employee to be involved in decisions making meetings, further support our gender equality strategies.

We continue to regularly review and develop policies and procedures to ensure diversity within the organisation, including the adoption of KPIs for Senior Management to measure the achievement of gender diversity objectives.

To achieve gender pay equity

To ensure no gender bias occurs at any point in the remuneration review process (for example at commencement, at annual salary reviews, out-of-cycle pay reviews, and performance reviews)

To implement and/or maintain a transparent and rigorous performance assessment process

  1. Did your organisation receive JobKeeper payments? Don't know / Not applicable
  2. What was the snapshot date used for your Workplace Profile? 26-Feb-2021
  3. If your organisation would like to provide additional information relating to gender pay gaps in your workplace, please do so below.

The main contributor to Bravura's gender pay gap is that fewer women hold senior positions than men. More than 50% of female employees work in operational and business services roles that occupy the lower half of the pay quartiles, as opposed to the higher proportion of management team roles and senior technical positions currently held by men. We hope to address this imbalance in part through our target of 35% females in people management by 2022.

The Fintech industry is characterised as having a gender imbalance in areas including software development. We are committed to change and championing for greater gender balance at all levels in our business and across the industry as we continue to grow. Our actions focused on addressing gender balance including drawing on a diverse talent pool, developing inclusive leadership capabilities and building effective work practices that support the empowerment of our female employees.

Employer action on pay equity
