Jul 1, 2024 - Mar 31, 2026

Through this 21-month systemic change project, Women in Leadership Foundation (WIL) will scale the Bridge to Gender Equality Project, to advance women’s representation in leadership and decision-making roles. It will scale to the democratic, civic, public, and private sectors working with stakeholders including BIPOC communities. The project will identify and address gender bias norms in hiring practices and build an inclusive human resource framework to support more women in applying and to be considered for leadership roles. To do so, Women in Leadership will design and facilitate pathways for employers to place future leadership opportunities with women candidates including women from the BIPOC communities across the country. This includes a dedicated Indigenous Lead (community leader) working with employers with a reconciliation lens. The project will engage employers to sign the Transforming the Workplace Pledge and provide pledge signatories with consultation on identifying and addressing their workplace policy and culture gaps.
