Gender Equality at King & Wood Mallesons
Gender equality is a strategic business priority at KWM. We recognise that success requires a diverse range of voices and a truly inclusive approach.
Gender Equality
Gender equality is one of our core priority areas in our Diversity, Inclusion & Wellbeing strategy, and is one of the firm’s strategic business imperatives as part of our overall all business strategy.
Our commitment to gender equality means deliberate and meaningful actions on a range of issues such as:
- eliminating gender bias and stereotyping across all elements of the people experience such as recruitment, development and promotion;
- addressing the impact of caring responsibilities that have traditionally fallen disproportionately on women;
- mainstreaming flexible work practices for all so that we intentionally focus on driving an inclusive experience for everyone;
- zero tolerance of gender-based harassment and discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying;
- improving the use of diversity metrics and accountability around them; and
- enabling and encouraging more open conversations led from the top
