Among other initiatives, one of the most important things that consultancy firm Accenture does is publish its workforce demographics and hiring reports. This transparency allows anyone to view how the company is doing in terms of gender equalities. Metrics that Accenture measures include percentage of new female hires, percentage of female global workforce, and percentage of female newly promoted managing directors. It also empowers women with in-demand skillsets with specific sponsorship programmes and fast-track the careers of the highest performing women. Vodafone
Setting itself the challenging task of being the world’s best employer for women by 2025, Vodafone has many projects aimed at increasing the gender diversity of its workforce. One of the most significant is its ReConnect project. This is a talent programme aimed to encourage women who’ve taken career breaks to come back to work. It helps those women make professional connections and find opportunities. The programme operates in 26 countries and hopes to bring 1,000 women back into the workforce in three years.
