Gender Equality as Retention Tool?

(From Quartz) Gender equality in the workplace is arguably one of the most important ways to attract and retain employees, invest in long-term financial growth and act as an employer of integrity. Quartz media, the Harvard Business School's Gender Initiative, Arjuna Capital and the James Beard Foundation have together developed “The Pact”: a resource and tool for adopting and advocating for gender equality in your workplace. It aims to guide best practices in three realms:

• Leadership and culture: No male executive will appear on an all-male panel at a public event.
• Equity and retention: Conduct an annual audit of pay across gender and race.
• Hiring and recruiting: In a male-dominated field, interview 10 percent more female candidates for a position than is the industry-average for that position. In a female-dominated field, do the same for male candidates.
