In Australia, the topic of sustainability has increasingly been discussed in the context of society, communities, and organizations. Managers and employees are being urged to recognize and value sustainability, and many managers are pursuing active programs to improve the business’ sustainability. However, challenges still exist for managers to implement specific practices within their organizations.
In this assessment, you focus on a specific sustainability issue – gender equality and discuss how managers can motivate employees to practice this specific sustainable development goal within the organization. Within your assignment, please address the four points/questions below. You should start your discussion with the importance of business sustainability that we discussed in class, then focus your attention on a specific sustainability issue-– gender equality, followed by a discussion of motivational management approaches, and use an Australian company as an example to discuss how they address this sustainability issue (gender equality) by using information available via their website.
▪ What is business sustainability and why is it important for organizations to become sustainable?
▪ What is gender equality in organizations and why it is a very important dimension of a sustainable business?
▪ How can managers apply motivation theories or approaches to engage employees to improve the current practices within the organization?
▪ Identify an Australian company that provides sustainability information around this issue on
their website or other resources and discuss what implications for you to create a shared value and implement sustainable practices within your organisation.
