This award recognises the business in the financial services industry that demonstrated the best balance of gender diversity and commitment to the progression of women within the company. The Women in Finance Awards, in partnership with AMP Bank, is a national awards program recognising the contribution of women in the finance industry.
DPN was named a finalist for Employer of the Year (SME) in the Women in Finance Awards.
“DPN is proud of its long-standing commitment to our values and cultural architecture which includes a focus on flexible work and family commitments” explains DPN’s Managing Director, Sam Khalil.
Currently, DPN has 60 team members employed across the group with 11 of those working directly in our Mortgage Broking and Mortgage Management teams. 80 per cent of these team members are women fulfilling business critical roles such as in-house and mobile lending, sales, mortgage management and compliance.
At a leadership level, women are over represented with the gender split 80% female and 20% male.
Across the entire organisation, women are strongly represented with a 70:30 (female:male) gender split increasing to 80:20 (female:male) at a leadership level.
“The current gender mix is the result of a culture focused on flexibility and the recognition of the value of women within a high performing team. In 2018, women represented 5 of 6 promotions to leadership positions, and 100% of all new hires.” Amber Butler, DPN People & Culture Leader.
Sam Khalil said that he was “humbled to be recognised and proud to be part of such an exclusive network.”
The winners will be announced at a gala dinner awards ceremony on Thursday the 1st of August 2019, at The Star Sydney.
