“It is now abundantly clear that personal information needs to be
treated like digital asbestos – handled with care, surrounded by the
right processes and procedures and disposed of responsibly.”

EXPERIENCE MATTERS
A new report from software company
Qualtrics shows a disconnect in how senior
and executive leaders in Australia and New
Zealand rate their own employee experience
compared with the teams they lead. While
55 per cent of senior and executive leaders
say their expectations at work are being met,
just 33 per cent of manager and junior-level
employees feel the same way.
Satisfaction with pay also varies between
the two groups. While only 61 per cent of
manager and junior-level employees believe
they are paid fairly for the work they do,
almost 80 per cent of senior and executive
leaders are satisfied.
The report also shows that, across all levels
of the workforce, those whose expectations
are met at work are 2.4 times more likely
to stay with their employer longer, and
4.3 times more likely to go above and
beyond in their job.
ASX200 MISSING
THE NET ZERO TARGET
Despite a rise in the number of net zero pledges across corporate
Australia, a report on new research from the Australian Council of
Superannuation Investors shows ASX200 companies are missing
the mark on emissions reduction targets.
The report examines the climate commitments of 187 companies
in the ASX200. It shows concrete, measurable, short- and mediumterm emissions reduction milestones are largely missing.
The report includes analysis provided by the Climateworks Centre
and shows that 45 per cent of companies have set net zero targets
for their Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and that 73 per cent of these are
aligning the targets to the 1.5°C trajectory. However, only 9 per cent
of companies have 1.5°C-aligned net zero targets covering all
applicable emissions scopes.
