Inclusion Benchmarks A Work in Progress for Womens Workplace Equality

Inclusion benchmarks serve as a critical tool for assessing progress towards workplace equality for women. They have successfully put the spotlight on gender diversity, encouraging companies to take actionable steps. However, these benchmarks are not without their criticisms. Women continue to face unequal growth opportunities, harassment, and challenges in achieving work-life balance. Moreover, benchmarks often overlook the importance of creating an inclusive culture that goes beyond ticking boxes. Hence, while beneficial, current benchmarks need significant refinement to fully meet the needs of women in the workplace.
