consultancy on inclusive engineering

Working towards a vision of Diversity and Inclusion in Engineering.
I aim to work with organisations to define the vision and reality of a diverse and inclusive engineering sector.
Engineering, like all aspects of society, benefits from a diversity of thought enabling improved outcomes, increased profits, better productivity, more resilience, long term sustainability and increased creativity.

top 10 Measures for gender diversity

I have recently published a top 10 of gender diversity measures, which can be seen below. If you are interested in working with me to measure these then please get in touch.
  1. Proportion of women in total employee base
  2. Gender Pay Gap
  3. Competitive ratio of new hires (those who are offered divided by those who applied) by men and women
  4. Proportion of women in each level of the business (including non-execs), and per occupational group
  5. Average years of employment by men and women
  6. Competitive ratio of promotions by men and women
  7. Percentage of employees who return to work after career/parental leave
  8. Average overtime work hours by men and women (where appropriate and able to be measured)
  9. Percentage of men and women who take child care leave
  10. Percentage of men and women who take other measures for work life balance (e.g. flexi time, condensed hours, or others)
These are all areas that I will be working on through Towards Vision. Contact me if you would like to get involved or find out more.
