The following measures and initiatives are proposed to improve pathways for women to senior ranks: Removal of unintentional discriminatory provisions in financial incentives, specifically disqualification for housing assistance due to a break in service. Whilst the intent of the housing subsidy is to retain personnel, the retention of women should be viewed holistically across a career, and consideration of the reasons for a break in service given. Organisational loyalty is not valued when women return to work, and the perception is that retention is geared towards the unencumbered male rather than an ongoing commitment that spans family responsibilities. Consideration of tiered maternity leave, that is an incentive of a greater amount of leave for a member "!s first child upon attaining the rank of SGT(E)/MAJ(E). This concept is proposed in recognition of both development of organisational knowledge on the part of the individual and the value of the individual to the ADF before, and after, maternity leave. Whilst not supported by empirical data to my knowledge, it is considered that a delay in the first break in service may make it both more likely, and easier, to return to resume a career and subsequently progress through the ranks. The removal of Corps. Whilst a traditional and valued aspect of culture, inevitably Corps designation becomes a form of pigeon-holing "!, with combat Corps seen as both more prestigious and valuable. Even with the opening of all Corps to women, it will take a long time for a woman to rise through a combat Corps, and certainly an even longer time to have some form of critical mass in terms of female representation in these areas. Jobs are Corps coded "! as a way of identifying and managing the required skillset, but this can be unduly limiting and is a blunt form of management. With modern databases, matching specific skillsets with personnel could be achieved with greater precision and less traditional forms of identification and discrimination. Geographical dispersion of Defence facilities may also be an indirect causal link with women choosing not to continue serving. This can occur through both dislocation from wider family support and difficulties in posting two serving members to the same location. Whilst there i"$h@ShvmHnHu h_h@Sjh_h@SUhNIjhNIU hV/h*UhW R 3 "$gdqgdmLgdWs limited ability to influence this in the short term, as Force 2030 is developed from both a strategic basing requirement and to establish facilities to support emerging capabilities, consideration should be given to base aggregation and proximity factors as a means of increasing the retention of women. The inclusion of formal reporting of the performance of individuals in managing diversity in annual career reports. Whilst leadership performance already includes this factor, if it has discrete value in terms of an individual "!s progression it is more likely to be more closely considered and rewarded.
