Join the International Center for Research on Women’s corporate advisory team for a timely discussion on leveraging gender-targeted data to help suppliers create inclusive programs, improve their bottom-line performance, and empower women workers.

Worker voice tools are mechanisms that allow workers to share their needs and experiences in the workplace. They help to inform better policies, practices, and business decisions, and they are becoming an increasingly powerful tool in the hands of employers. Yet, many worker voice surveys deployed in global supply chains have a blind spot — they are almost always missing a specific gender dimension.

The session will introduce the Gender Equity Worker Voice tool and explore the following questions: Why do worker surveys need to be gender inclusive? What does it mean to develop women-centric questions and, how should you go about doing it? Presenters will also share a few best practices to follow when co-creating inclusive questions and discuss how they leveraged participation from brands, factories, and, principally, women workers in developing the tool.
