APESMA Women in the Professions Survey 2009

[From FASTS]

The Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists and Managers, Australia (APESMA) is currently undertaking its 5th bi-annual Women in the Professions Survey and is seeking technical professional women, including engineers, scientists, ICT professionals and pharmacists to complete the online survey by Tuesday 1 December 2009.  
 
Many organisations that are members of FASTS forwarded the survey to their members in 2007 which was greatly appreciated as it added significantly to the number of respondents and provided many technical professional women the opportunity to participate in the survey.

About the Survey

The survey seeks to gain information regarding the employment experiences of technical professional women with the aim of informing government, industry and associations on how to assist women’s careers.  The survey includes topics such as retention, barriers to career progression, training and professional development, workplace culture, balancing work and life, conditions of employment and equal pay.  It also includes questions regarding workplace bullying, discrimination and sexual harassment.

The report of the survey is made publicly available on the APESMA website and is accompanied by data from the APESMA remuneration surveys which analyse the median total remuneration package by gender and responsibility level for engineers, scientists, ICT professionals and community pharmacists.
