The Project

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.
