VLG women outnumber men by 1.7 to 1 In the Australian Workforce, men outnumber women by 1.2 to 1
11
Men were older than Women 38% men in Physical Services Men were longer serving 29% > 10 yrs service Men twice as likely to be Full Time (68% of men) VLG men more likely to be part time than men in the Australian Workforce Most women were in the middle and younger age brackets 68% of women in Social Services Women were more mobile – 36% < 2 yrs with current employer Women 2.5 times as likely to be Part Time (43% of women) VLG women slightly less likely to be PT than women in the Australian Workforce

Less than half of the VLG workforce is Full Time More full time staff are men (54% men, 46% women) 81% of part time staff and 72% of casual staff are women
15
Most FT staff in Physical Services – Asset Maintenance (18%) Most PT & Casual staff in Social Services – 33% of PT Staff in Aged & Disability and 33% of Casual Staff in Youth & Leisure

Recently Employed staff: Slightly more women than men Predominantly full time or casual Overwhelmingly within the Social function, with Statutory and Physical functions a distant second Recently Employed staff: Slightly more women than men Predominantly full time or casual Overwhelmingly within the Social function, with Statutory and Physical functions a distant second
18
Established staff: Slightly more women than men Predominantly full time – least likely to be casual Overwhelmingly within the Social function, with Statutory and Physical functions second but less pronounced gap Established staff: Slightly more women than men Predominantly full time – least likely to be casual Overwhelmingly within the Social function, with Statutory and Physical functions second but less pronounced gap

Long serving staff: More likely to be men – the longer serving and older the more likely Predominantly full time – the longer serving the more likely Within the Physical functions – the longer serving the more likely Long serving staff: More likely to be men – the longer serving and older the more likely Predominantly full time – the longer serving the more likely Within the Physical functions – the longer serving the more likely

More than half of the VLG workforce is in a Social Function Over three quarters of Social Function staff are Part Time or Casual so EFT is less than graph
21
Youth & Leisure 14% Children’s Services 13.5% Aged & Disability 13.3% Civic Safety & Amenity 10.7% Asset/Infrastructure Maintenance 9.2% Arts & Culture 6.6% Over 67% VLG employees in the top 6 services Remaining 33% split between 18 services
22
Workforce Ageing is an issue in targeted service areas; chronic in a small handful but less pronounced or non existant in others Responses should range from long term strategy implementation in the chronic areas, to localised solutions in others Timescales for responses also range in different services and this should mean our efforts are staged appropriately
23
Four “chronic” areas needing specific focus; ◦ Aged & Disability ◦ Waste & Cleansing and Asset Maintenance ◦ Finance Physical injury key risk in the short term Tendency for older and longer serving workers (males) to remain Full Time is at odds with retirement transition proposals Trade apprenticeships and Traineeships would play a strong role in this response – particularly in replacing the older male workforce
24
“Young” Services face a different set of challenges In the youngest service, casual employment status prevails Somewhat more white collar/professionally qualified staff in remaining “young” services Professional mentoring a key requirement to ensure good judgement is developed and executed Opportunities exist to target these younger groups for development and broadening of knowledge of the business What other professions do we need to nurture ?
25
In terms of gender split, women “have the numbers”, and current trends would amplify this Range of factors influencing this attraction, but suggests Part Time arrangements are not the strongest attractor Potential attraction of Part Time arrangements to VLG men – offers an opportunity Female numbers don’t necessarily translate into senior positions Strategies to attract younger men and develop women into senior roles are a key focus
26
VLG has some unique competitive advantages over other sectors; ◦ An enormously diverse set of service offerings ◦ A collaborative not competitive sector ◦ A “branch near you” offering geographic diversity and complementing family and environmental balance imperatives Target our efforts on a smaller group of more critical issues/areas and bring our competitive advantages to bear
