Gender Equality Project
To produce a significant and sustainable improvement in the gender balance in leadership roles of participating organisations
The Gender Equality Project (GEP) is a networked organisation of industry partners, research partners and associates collaborating in pursuit of the mission to produce significant improvement in the gender balance in leadership roles of participating organisations. The underlying assumption is that a more balanced representation will mean that organisations are making better use of the full range of available talent and better meeting the needs of both men and women at work. Improving gender balance is both smart economics and good human rights.
In pursuit of this mission, the GEP aims to develop new, validated and tailored solutions to the problem of gender inequality in the leadership roles of industry organisations. All research is focused on the mission and is aligned to the needs and goals of industry partners.
The GEP is an initiative of the Centre for Ethical Leadership at Melbourne Business School which is responsible for the management of the research and development program. All GEP members are invited to participate in six monthly workshops for the sharing of latest research findings, global best practices and case studies.
