Women on Boards chair to head AMP culture

AMP has hired the chair of leadership advocacy group Women on Boards as its new head of people and culture, following a wave of senior departures and high-profile scandals at the company.

Gillian Davie will take on the role. Ms Davie currently sits on the board of the Scout Association of Australia, in addition to being the chair of Women on Boards. She has previously held the role of chief people officer at NetComm Wireless and served as the group HR operations and remuneration manager at Woolworths from 2008 to 2010. 

“With 25 years in people and culture roles, Gillian has led workforces through change, rebuilding and transformation – experiences gained in large and complex businesses both domestically and overseas,” an AMP spokesperson told Investor Daily.

AMP has faced substantial scrutiny over its plans for a cultural turnaround in the wake of a number of high-profile resignations following a series of accusations of sexual harassment at the executive level. Last week AMP announced that it had engaged an external consultancy, Symmetra, to undertake a workplace review and make recommendations on governance and behaviour. 

“Clearly the issues you see in the press are very distressing and clearly not acceptable, but I really don’t believe they are reflective of our wider culture at AMP,” CEO Francesco de Ferrari told the House of representatives standing committee on economics at the time.

    I remember the entire AMP Capital team doing a conga line to the Village People, dressed in costumes at 2pm on the Friday before the LGBTQIA+ Mardi Gras weekend. A virtue signalling demonstration on company time when they should have been managing client money. Go woke, go broke.

    Is Gillian going to examine the culture that AMP advisers have been subject to, or are they unimportant participants in AMP and the wider community.?

    I’ll comment: The corporate wokness that got AMP into this problem, wont get them out. They can have all the Women on board advocates and Woke cultural leaders they want but it wont make a schmik of difference. Integrity is what you do when no one is watching, not what you do when you are under the public scrutiny. Their values are broken and while they may pay as much lip service as they like, their moral compass remains broken.
