Advancing Gender Equality in the Workplace: What Works

Identification: WOM1809

A multitude of studies have demonstrated that achieving gender balance is not only beneficial to every organization’s culture but also has a direct impact on the organization’s customers and economic prosperity. While the macroeconomic case for gender diversity is strong, it has not been persuasive on its own in creating a significant improvement in diversity numbers in organizations. Many companies implement a broad variety of measures to increase gender diversity at each level of their organization, but too often these programs do not lead to lasting results: women are still underrepresented at senior management levels and companies struggle to make change stick. We can all do more. Join us to discover the successful initiatives that some organizations have used to make headway on gender parity and create a space where talented women can thrive and have successful careers. Learn tactical strategies that you can bring back to your organizations to build the case for gender diversity and to drive lasting results.

• Find out about the latest research and best practices for diversity & inclusion programs to bring back to your organizations.
• Gain a unique inside perspective on the progress of these programs and where they have stalled.
