This 33-month systemic change project will help increase women’s representation in leadership roles in corporate Canada, with a focus on growing the share of women from underrepresented groups in those positions. The project will share evidence-based and community-informed actionable measures for corporation in two major industries to implement so that they can address the following barriers: hiring and promotion bias, recruitment of women (especially women with intersecting identities), and inequitable compensation. Additionally, the project will work with the federal government to develop incentives to encourage companies beyond the federally regulated sectors to also disclose their gender-disaggregated data. Finally, the project will deliver a public awareness campaign that seeks to increase positive sentiment held by Canadians for the advancement of women in the workplace and a recognition that when women succeed, all Canadians benefit. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
