Our approach is designed to enable all genders to succeed and provides the opportunities, resources, and programs for our employees to progress to senior levels at the same rate as their colleagues.
Urbis is committed to addressing gender challenges both in our industry and within the organisation. A deep dive into the results suggest the presence of occupational segregation, where men are overrepresented in senior and specialised positions. Whilst influenced by these disparities, it is pleasing to see that Urbis is significantly better when compared to the industry benchmark of 24.6%. This however does not slow us down or become complacent as we aspire to bring our GPG % closer to 0.
