Industry Survey Launch | What gets measured, gets done!

Last week, the WISE initiative to undertake a study to establish base line data for women’s participation in the subsea oil & gas industry in WA was officially announced at an industry gathering attended by 65 interested professionals.

The call is out! WISE is seeking your support in a number of ways - 

  1. Volunteers to participate in focus groups
  2. Commitment from companies to participate in the survey – Curtin University will require companies to fill out a survey regarding on gender representation. Companies with no females employed in STEM professions may also participate.
  3. Funding to carry out the survey – Sponsorships from companies will receive public acknowledgement in all related publications, online platforms and public presentations (2018 AOG). Contributions from individuals are also highly encouraged – every $50 counts towards launching the survey.

Please let us know if you are able to assist in options  1 or 2 of these support areas by filling in our expression of interest form.  You can contribute financially via our Chuffed.org campaign.

Associate Professor Linley Lord, Director of the Maureen Bickley Centre for Women in Leadership (Curtin Graduate School of Business) delivered an enlightening presentation describing the aims and objectives of the work. Her slides contain an excellent summary of the information she shared:
