Equity and Diversity Award
25 March 2011
Nominations are now open for the Queensland Law Society 2011
Equity and Diversity Award. The award aims to encourage all Queensland
legal practices to promote staff diversity and accommodate lifestyle
needs.
This is a wonderful opportunity for legal practices to
demonstrate how they lead the field in best practice employment policies
to build their position as an employer of choice. Achievement of this
coveted award is also a great way to reinforce a positive culture within
the workplace.
Any non-government legal practice in Queensland, including community legal centres, can nominate. Categories include:
- Large Legal Practice Award - For legal practices with eight or more partners or principals
- Small Legal Practice Award - For legal practices with less than eight partners or principals.
Judges will look for specific examples of employment equity,
training that promotes workplace health and safety best practice, and a
flexible work environment.
The Equity and Diversity guidelines provide more detailed information on judging criteria to enable completion of the application form.
All legal practices are encouraged to consider nomination and stand out from the marketplace.
