We challenge our people to deliver the right results for our clients and users and reward them for contributing to our success.
In simple terms, we want all our people to be their best. To help them achieve this, we know it's our responsibility to provide the support and opportunity that will enable all our people to grow, learn and develop.
Strength in diversity
As a global business, we recognise and celebrate our diversity; it's a strength that makes us inclusive and cohesive. Having an understanding of different cultures and attitudes, underpinned by our shared values, allows us to embrace different perspectives that increase our ability to listen, learn, create and innovate.
Australian and UK gender pay gap
Iress welcomes gender pay gap legislation as we’re driven by a continuing desire to make Iress a great place to work, where the diverse experience, attitude, and background of all our people underpins our success.
The gender pay gap measures the difference between the average/median earnings of men and women, irrespective of role or seniority. Iress’ average and median pay gaps have improved when compared to last year and continue to be below our industry peer group.
As a technology company, we recognise the challenges we face when it comes to female representation, especially at senior levels, and these are not unique to Iress. It’s why we’ve made gender diversity and inclusion a priority and why we focus on initiatives that address the underlying causes of inequality and make careers in technology more attractive to women.
These initiatives include enhanced leave policies, starting school leave, flexible working practices, engagement with local/regional STEM programmes, internal and external recruitment and selection processes, and graduate programmes, which all support and encourage diversity.
Iress maintains WORK180 Endorsed Employer status in Australia and the UK, signifying our commitment to being an employer of choice for all women. Iress was also named by WORK180 as one of Australia’s Top 101 Workplaces for Women.
Our global gender diversity objectives globally are set and agreed by our Board every year, and are visible here.
2024 objectives were based around:
- Targeting 40% overall female representation
- Targeting 45% female candidate representation for all roles and 50% female candidate representation in talent programs
- Participating in the 40:40 vision for representation at a Board, leadership team, and senior leadership levels by 2030.
For further information about our approach to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and the extent to which we are meeting our goals, please refer to our 2024 annual report. In 2025 we will develop a new DEI strategy to support our post-transformation organisational goals.
In accordance with the Australian and UK Gender Pay Gap legislation, Iress reports data related to gender and our Australian and UK workforce annually to the Australian Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) and the UK Government Women and Equalities Unit. You can access a copy of the public data reports below and you can view our WGEA gender pay gap report here.

Our enhanced leave policies, flexible working practices, engagement with local STEM programmes, recruitment and selection processes, and graduate programmes all support and encourage diversity. We know we can do more and we are committed to doing more.
