From good intentions to great performance:
Putting gender equality at the heart of change


Much effort is spent on gender balance initiatives, full of good intentions to bring about gender equality. But there is a strong disconnect between the efforts spent on gender equality initiatives and the actual results:
the needle’s not moving fast enough…

Integrating gender equality into the day-to-day work of an organisation is more than just having policies, processes, goals and objectives on diversity in place. It is about change, transforming organisations and changing mind-sets to embed gender equality into the corporate culture and build a sense of social accountability. By putting gender equality at the heart of change, we will transform good intentions into great performance.
