Gender-fair process design

PROJECT EXAMPLES

Identifying effective leverages for change throughout the employee life cycle

The underrepresentation of women – particularly in senior management – remains a reality in many organisations. Supporting women and raising awareness of gender equity alone are not enough to bring about substantial change. An effective approach to achieving sustainable success in gender parity is to design gender-fair processes within the company.

This involves identifying and adjusting many small leverages throughout the employee life cycle, which, when combined, have a significant impact on advancing gender equity.

We are happy to advice you

Overview of typical processes:

  • Employer branding:
    – What measures are in place to attract women in particular to the company?
    – How does the company present itself, e.g., on its website or on social media?
    – How important is (gender) diversity in the company’s external image?
  • Recruiting:
    – Through which channels are potential employees approached?
    – How gender-fair is the job posting worded?
    – Are the requirements and competencies to be assessed balanced in a gender-fair manner?
  • Talent management:
    – How are talented individuals and high-performing employees made visible within the company?
    – What access points are there to the talent pool?
    – What criteria are used to identify potential?
    – Is there gender parity in decision-making bodies?
  • Work (time) models:
    – How well can family and career be balanced?
    – How much flexibility is there in terms of time and location for performing professional duties?
    – Can positions of responsibility also be held on a part-time basis?
