Parlour has launched the second edition of its Guides to Equitable Practice, updating the first edition from 2015 to further address pay inequities in architecture.
Parlour co-founder and director Justine Clark today joined host Georgia Birks on episode three of the Design Speaks Weekly podcast to explore the significance of the updated guides and the role of data in driving accountability and transparency across the profession.
In 2015, 11 guides were released, addressing a range of common issues in the architecture profession and outlining strategies for creating more equitable workplaces. The topics included pay equity, leadership, long hours, part-time work, recruitment, mentoring, career progression, negotiation, career breaks and registration.
Updated versions of these guides are now being gradually re-released. The first, Pay Equity and Pay Gaps, provides a comprehensive overview of gender pay gaps, pay equity, and practical recommendations for addressing both in the workplace.
Design Speaks Weekly is presented in partnership with the Australian Institute of Architects and with support from Lysaght. A fresh episode will be delivered every Tuesday. You can listen to it on major podcast apps, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music and Pocket Casts.
