The objectives of the survey are to: a) obtain baseline data and b) test the efficacy of the survey tool in multiple geographies and operating environments.
The survey captures employment data by gender, rank, and function as well as information on organizational policies and practices, benefits, training, and work environment. By analyzing the policies and sex-disaggregated data, it’s possible to create a gender “snapshot” of each company. By aggregating the data by country or region, it’s possible to clarify the roles women are playing in the sector as a whole, and identify job categories where gender discrepancies in employment may be greatest.
