Diversity and Inclusion Case Study: Attracting More Senior Level Female Talent
Industry: Global Defence
Service: Diversity & Inclusion
The Project
A major global defence company asked us to attract more senior level female talent to their team. The project focused on engaging with senior female leaders, both with a defence background and without.
Our Results
These new insights and recommendations enabled our client to build a specific female orientated recruitment strategy which would allow them to engage better and attract more senior level female talent in the future.
It also provided direction on how to adjust their culture and working conditions to better reflect the needs and aspirations of women and ensure higher retention of female staff.
Our Approach
30 in-depth targeted conversations with senior female leaders across defence and non-defence uncovering new insights into:
Motivations, aspirations and career direction of women in this sector
Perceptions on salary equality, working conditions, diversity of organisations
What would increase attractiveness such as new working policies as well as highlighting other companies demonstrating best practice
