Advice for employers

The Gender & Behavioural Insights Programme generated new evidence of what works to improve gender equality. To inform our work, we also reviewed hundreds of pieces of research by other leading researchers around the world who are working hard to fill in knowledge gaps. We prepared a number of employer-focused guides that summarise the best evidence we could find and help employers take evidence-based steps towards equality.

Our flagship guides for employers include:

How to improve gender equality in the workplace – evidence-based actions for employers

This guide summarises approaches that have been shown to improve outcomes for gender equality. It also indicates those which need more evidence before they can be recommended as widespread approaches.It forms part of a wider toolkit on evidence-based actions for employers to improve gender equality. The toolkit includes five detailed implementation guides on five of the more effective actions organisations can implement to improve equality. You can find those here:

• How to set effective targets
• How to establish diversity leads and diversity task forces
• How to run structured interviews
• How to use skill-based assessment tasks
• How to increase transparency of progression, pay and reward processes
