“Everybody gets it regardless of gender and time in the business,” Mr Smith told 3AW Mornings.

“It will cost us some money, but it’s about removing barriers in career progression to ensure talent is retained in the business and nurtured.

“This is the future, we’re going to have to do this to keep pace with the way society is going.
