\n\t\tImprove Gender Equality In the Workplace
\n\t<\/h1>\n

\n\t\tFor organisations, gender diversity makes business sense. The business benefits include increased performance, improved productivity, market share and business success.
\n\t<\/h3>\n

Making Gender Diversity A Business\u00a0Priority Leads to Financial Benefits.<\/h2>\n

Research from the Peterson Institute for International Economics concludes that going from having no women in corporate leadership to a 30% female share is associated with a one-percentage-point increase in net margin \u2014 which translates to a\u00a015%\u00a0increase in profitability<\/strong> for a typical firm.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tWe Can Help Organisations Make The Change

Achieving gender equality, including pay equity,\u00a0is a process that takes time and conscious effort. We work together to examine your organisations’ culture towards creating diversity in leadership, including a review of policies, assumptions & unconscious biases to formulate a strategic alignment\u00a0of diversity and performance.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tThe Benefits of Gender Diversity
\n\t<\/h3>\n

A Study by Gallup has proven\u00a0that gender-diverse and engaged business units outperform those that are less diverse and less engaged.<\/p>\n

Engagement and gender diversity pay a big part in increasing overall organisational and business unit specific performance.<\/p>\n

Similarly to innovation, the power of diversity is unleashed with cultures that display open, collaborative, trusting, and supportive relationships with Co-workers and leaders. Employees are empowered to turn their differences in thought, behaviour, knowledge, skills and experience into innovative ideas and solutions that drive greater impact and performance.<\/p>\n

Diversity can bring many benefits to any organisation, and for organisations to leverage the benefits, it is crucial to review\u00a0business unit specific gender balance and formulate a strategy. Implementing a company-wide\u00a0policy to increase overall gender diversity will not achieve desired outcomes or improve financial performance.<\/p>\n

Company strategies that include making gender diversity a business priority will reap the bottom-line benefits that diversity can bring.<\/p>\n

Here are some critical steps to take to bridge the gender diversity gap;<\/p>\n
