Broadcaster gives free condoms to stop babies
Print Edition
An Australian broadcaster yesterday revealed how it discourages staff from having babies and taking maternity leave 鈥 a big jar of condoms at work.
A senior executive in Perth for Southern Cross Austereo, which runs the radio station that became embroiled in a British royal fake call scandal in 2012, said a third of her 100 staff were on maternity leave or covering for someone who was.
鈥淲e have a big jar of condoms at work,鈥 Linda Wayman, who is boss of the broadcaster鈥檚 two Perth stations Mix 94.9 and Hit 929, told a conference on recruitment and culture.
鈥淚鈥檓 not lying, I鈥檓 not exaggerating,鈥 she said, according to the conference organizers Mumbrella, a marketing and media website.
鈥淚 encourage people regularly, to have sex with condoms. That is a big area of focus for me,鈥 she said.
Wayman also said she runs an 鈥淎ngelina Jolie award,鈥 in recognition of the child-adopting actress, to reward employees who have flourished in more senior roles made available by women on maternity leave.
鈥淚f women weren鈥檛 pregnant then she would not have got this turbo-charged career opportunity,鈥 she said.
Southern Cross Austereo runs Sydney station 2Day FM, which endured a global backlash after Indian-born nurse Jacintha Saldanha killed herself in 2012.
Her death came after she transferred a prank call by two DJs to staff caring for Prince William鈥檚 wife Kate who was suffering from morning sickness.
