Workplace Gender Equality Agency Employer statement

Integral to KordaMentha’s values and how we attract, retain and develop our people, is our commitment to a diverse, inclusive workplace. Our culture respects inclusive practices and behaviours and each day we strive to make the firm a better workplace for everyone, regardless of gender.

We acknowledge that a significant factor contributing to our gender pay gap is the imperative to attract and retain women at leadership levels. This challenge is particularly pronounced in sectors historically dominated by male talent, impacting both our firm and the wider profession. Unlike some partnership models exempt from WGEA reporting requirements, our firm classifies Partners as employees, ensuring their remuneration is transparently included in our reporting.

Our refreshed Parental Leave policy is a testament to our commitment to creating a diverse workplace, offering enhanced benefits and flexibility to support employees during significant life milestones. We proudly extend our support to male employees, supporting and empowering the women in their lives and acknowledging changing home arrangements and expectations. This approach promotes shared parenting responsibilities, creating more balance and contributes to our broader mission of fostering gender equality.

A newly formed dedicated talent acquisition team has worked hard to successfully attract and recruit highly skilled women across our firm. Ongoing remuneration benchmarking promotes equitable and industry-aligned compensation practices, across all organisational tiers.

KordaMentha continues to explore ways to improve diversity and inclusion through enhanced networking, training and mentoring. Through these initiatives and other cultural and structural changes, we will continue to promote and seek opportunities to narrow the gender pay gap and attract, retain and develop women.
