The Gender Equity Collective, powered by T–
Our goal is to make equity the rule,
not the exception.
The current reality
The estimated global spend on DEI initiatives is expected to reach $15.4 billion by 2026. It is predicted it will take 132 years to achieve gender equity in the workplace.
So why has progress been so slow?
Why gender initiatives fail
- Companies don’t know where to start
- Gender initiatives get delegated down
- Initiatives are outdated
- Failure to engage men
- No senior leadership buy in
- Not set as a strategic objective
- Only target women
- No cross industry collaboration or knowledge share
- Programmes are performative not authentic
- They take an individual rather than organisation approach
A closer look at disparities
Gender equity remains an ongoing struggle as the system reveals itself to be broken to all genders. Change is needed at a system level to create more inclusive and just society for everyone, irrespective of gender.
