| Summary: | Gender gaps in employment, however, are
not just an emerging or developing economy problem.
Developed economies also have a range of gender gaps to
tackle. This report is the culmination of the International
Finance Corporation (IFC) - led SheWorks global private
sector partnership launched at the 2014 Clinton global
initiative annual meeting. The partnership’s aim was to
advance employment opportunities and improve working
conditions for more than 300,000 women by 2016. The full
report consolidates the 13 members’ learning and best
practice around the recruitment, retention, and promotion of
female employees. SheWorks members and strategic partners
have contributed their knowledge and expertise to this
report. The aim of this report is to help companies across
regions and sectors identify and implement gender-smart
recruitment, retention, and promotion policies that work
best for their (female) employees and the business. The
report concludes with suggestions for future research and
partnerships, and highlights issues that were beyond the
terms of reference of the SheWorks partnership but vital to
advancing women’s employment. The summary provides a brief
synopsis of each chapter while additional promising
practices and lessons learned are provided in the full report. |
