Canberra, May 24 Indigenous Austral, comprising of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, are "almost entirely absent" from corporate executive roles, a report has revealed.The Perth-based non-profit organization, Minderoo Foundation launched the Indigenous Employment Index (IEI), the first comprehensive snapshot of Indigenous employment representation ever carried out in Australia, reports Xinhua news agency.It revealed that only 0.7 per cent of senior leadership positions in corporate Australia are held by Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people.As of 2018, less than half, or 49.1 per cent of working-age Indigenous Austral were in some form of employment, compared to 75.9 per cent of non-Indigenous Austral.Worryingly, that gap only closed by 1.3 per cent during the decade to 2018, said the report.The average Indigenous employment rate among 42 organisations that participated in the survey was 2.2 per cent, with a low of 0.17 per cent and a high of 10.9 per cent.Shelley Cable, Director of Minderoo's Generation One initiative, described the disparity as disappointing."Today, less than half of working-age Indigenous Austral are employed, compared to three-quarters of non-Indigenous Austral. At the current rate, it will take 200 years to close the gap," Cable said in a media release on Monday."Among its key recommendations, the Indigenous Employment Index finds that one-off measures to create Indigenous jobs must give way to a more comprehensive and systemic approach. Authentic commitments, tailored strategies with targets, and a broader definition of Indigenous employment success that includes retention, safety, progression, and partnerships are critical to better Indigenous employment outcomes."Over 50 per cent of Indigenous employees who were surveyed for the report said they have experienced direct or indirect racism in the workplace.Three-quarters of participating organisations, which included Rio Tinto, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group and retail giants Wesfarmers and Woolworths, have Indigenous employment targets but only 67 per cent report regularly on their progress.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
