Diversity can have many benefits for organisations. Diverse views and perspectives lead to better decision-making and creativity. Employers have asked us to share evidence on actions that are likely to improve gender equality.

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. This will help employers create more effective action plans.

This resource groups actions into four different areas of focus:

1. Leadership and accountability
2. Hiring and selection
3. Talent management, learning and development
4. Workplace flexibility
