Respect at Work Career Coaching
Woolworths Metro
Respect at Work career coaching increased the number of women in store manager roles by 10% in less than six months.
Sector: Retail
The Background
Our client, one of Australia’s largest employers and a proud Employer of Choice for Gender Equality.
However, low applications for leadership roles from women in male dominated teams and stores coupled with a desire to lead the response on Respect at Work created the impetus for a new engagement.
The Solution
RAW Confidence Group Coaching
Our aim was to not only educate on the benefits of gender balance in building a more respectful culture, but to enhance awareness and understanding among managers as to the barriers and resistance to their vision. Simultaneously, we set out to boost the agency of women pursuing promotions through understanding of second generation bias.
With the Grace Papers group career coaching solution, the client provided their managers with:
- Quarterly Manager Group Coaching Sessions for senior leaders and group managers with a focus on Respect at Work
- A series of personalised Individual coaching sessions for each group manager tackling personal narratives aligned to a vision for belonging, unpacking data, building sponsorship capability and more
- Women in leadership group and individual coaching sessions
- On-demand resources accessible 24/7 through the Grace Papers platform

Julie Moss shares how Transgrid’s balanced Primary Care options promote well-being and support for all, with more men than ever taking parental leave or accessing flexible work.
In collaboration with the Office for Women Victoria and Macquarie University we have proven, for the first time, that when workplaces improve their flexible work arrangements, return to work experiences or parental leave, they can close discrimination gaps and improve workplace gender equality.
Grace Papers partnered with Pride in Diversity on a piece of research titled An Inclusive Approach to Parenting. The objective of this research was to answer the question: What are the intersectional impacts of care, career and sexual orientation in workplaces?
