Issues surrounding gender and the workplace are many, varied and often complex. During the development of this report, a timely and appropriate theme for policing emerged: that is, women are good for business. In going about the business of delivering policing services, Australia and New Zealand police organisations often encounter the same challenges faced by any business enterprise. This includes the need for increased efficiency, improved effectiveness and the need to compete with the wider business community for their share of the talent pool. There is a growing body of evidence and a renewed interest from both business and governments in the 'gender dividend'. Research strongly suggests that women increase corporate performance, contribute to good governance, enhance organisational reputation and play an important role in the overall success of businesses. The nexus between 'gender equality,' which is achieved when people can access and enjoy the same rewards, resources and opportunities, irrespective of gender, and potential economic gains is solidifying. Ultimately, the participation, progression and development of women in the workforce can no longer be considered predominantly from traditional social, ethical or compliance vantage points, but rather as a business priority. While there is an extraordinary amount of information and data available on the economic value of women in the workforce, the AWIPRG has focused on four priorities for the consideration of the ANZPAA Board, namely: metrics and trends; objectives and strategies (with an emphasis on attraction, retention and flexibility); executive sponsorship; and, representation of women in leadership. The AWIPRG, working with ANZPAA, has developed this report to assist the ANZPAA Board to capture the 'diversity advantage' of women in policing, particularly with respect to sworn women police members. This is important not only for their respective agencies but for the environment in which police organisations operate and the communities they serve.
