About the WORK180 endorsement
You’ll meet a standard that actually means something
We don’t ask companies to be perfect, but we do ask them to be committed to progress. Our work begins with an intersectional DEI benchmarking report that highlights how your commitment to flexibility, pay equity, and inclusive culture compares to your competitors. You’ll then receive a tailored action plan to strengthen your policies and build a workplace women actively want to join.
Employer branding
Your commitment becomes instantly visible
Beyond featuring on our platform, one of the largest sources of employer policies and benefits for women in Australia, you’ll carry the Endorsed Employer badge. It’s a globally recognised seal of approval you can display on job ads, marketing materials, and your own website, instantly understood by the women you want to attract. Endorsed Employers report a 25% boost in candidate interest.*
Talent attraction
You attract the talent you’ve been trying to reach
85% of women tell us they want to see what companies offer employees before applying. Your profile page on our website will display your benefits, policies, and latest job opportunities, automatically updated and always visible to the 1.5 million women who are actively seeking workplaces that support their goals.
Employer community
You join a community driving real workplace change
Whether benchmarking against others in your industry, collaborating on campaigns, or sharing knowledge at events, Endorsed Employers don’t just improve their own workplaces — they help raise the bar for everyone. You’ll access peer benchmarking, industry insights, and a network of like-minded leaders committed to progress.
