About our Workforce
Investa employees have continued to work hard over the last year to contribute to Investa’s results: social, environmental and financial. Achieving business financial targets in the current market is extremely challenging and Investa has responded by examining the business structure to ensure optimum operation of both parts of the business.
A major change to the business in the last quarter of 2008 was the separation of the residential business to facilitate greater focus of each business. Clarendon now operates as a stand-alone company. With this split, Investa’s workforce is now approximately 240 staff (including fulltime, part-time, casuals and contractors). These employees are based mainly in Sydney, with representation in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. As part of the separation Investa was restructured and two additional experienced executives added to the Group Executive team.
Recent analysis for Investa’s annual Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency (EOWA) report provided the following demographic data about our workforce. Note that these statistics were generated prior to the split with Clarendon:
- As at 31 March 2008, 46.3% of our workforce was female, up from 43.7% in May 2007.
- Of our workforce 89% is full-time, 6% is part-time and 5% is casual – almost identical to our structure a year ago.
- There has been an increase in the proportion of women middle managers and the relative salary of women managers in the last year as shown on the graphs below.
