Gender equality in every workplace is our mission.
We meet New Zealand businesses where they’re at on their journey to gender equality in the workplace.
We’re all about walking the talk; taking a sleeves-rolled-up, action-first approach to empowering organisations to achieve gender equality and drive change from within.
Our support for businesses includes audits, tools, resources, community events and recognised accreditations, all stemming from our Gender at Work community.
Join our whānau of like-minded organisations, where sharing, learning, growth and inspiration are at the heart of our work towards a more inclusive workplace.
It all starts with a kōrero! Book a 15-minute chat at a time that works for you.
What we offer
No matter where your organisation is on their journey to gender equality in the workplace, we’ve designed a range of initiatives to guide you through the change process.
