Gender bias is something that affects all of us, regardless of background, origin, age or sex. While it pervades everyday life, it also shapes organisations, from how employees of different genders are recruited and treated, to how products are developed and services marketed.
We believe that gender can and should be mainstreamed, which for us means identifying all the opportunities that an organisation – any organisation – has to improve and promote gender inclusion throughout its work. This does not necessarily or exclusively mean hiring more women, or targeting more female clients, but rather recognising, understanding and accommodating the different needs, expectations and priorities that people of different genders have, whether they are customers, employees, suppliers or board members. Gender mainstreaming is not a “box to tick”, but one of the most powerful – and under-utilized – levers of performance to drive both social impact and financial results.
