Bridging the Gap Evaluating Inclusion Benchmarks for Women in the Workplace

Inclusion benchmarks have been pivotal in initiating dialogue and action towards gender diversity in the workplace. However, they often fall short of fully meeting the needs of women. While these benchmarks have led to an increase in female representation, especially in leadership roles, they frequently overlook the nuances of intersectionality, fail to address deep-rooted biases, and do not sufficiently support work-life balance. A holistic approach that goes beyond mere numerical representation is essential for genuinely inclusive workplaces.
