Measuring gender Equality - which numbers matter?

Gender equality has become one of the top priorities for many global organizations. Showing significant progress in this direction, companies report yearly about increasing percentages of female representation in the overall workforce as well as at senior management positions. However, fixating on superficial numbers, organizations can risk overlooking the most primary objective of any enterprise - creating a diverse, efficient, and safe environment that leads to progressive long-term growth. From the gender pay gap to unequal representation, both problems and resolutions have been found to compound from one another. What should be the focus of companies that strive towards implementing effective equality policies? Find out the common miscalculations and best measurement practices that ensure progressive growth and prosperity of the corporate workforce in this section of the event.

The speakers at this panel will discuss:

• Most common gender equality metrics used in global corporations.

• Ways to measure and influence female empowerment and job satisfaction.

• How to use the combination of measurements to create a thriving work environment for all.
