Gender pay gap

WGEA mandatory requirements for employers in Australia with over 100 staff to disclose their gender pay gap will come into effect on 27 February 2024.

As of 2024, Protiviti Australia meet this requirement and have produced our first report.

Our reconciliation action plan

Unlocking the productivity potential of a multigenerational workforce

Protiviti is proud to be collaborating with The Inclusion Initiative at the London School of Economics (LSE) on a three-year study about generations in the workforce.

Building wholistic and strong relationships with our alliances is key to our success.
