Résumé
This 30-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Women in Leadership will achieve this by identifying and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by increasing women’s labour market participation and opportunities by working with employers to create & amend policies and procedures as well as address gender biases so as to support more women applying for leadership and decision-making positions to support women’s equality. This project will bring together employers and stakeholders to identify gender bias norms in their hiring practices & policies and to understand how to build an inclusive HR framework to support more women to apply and be considered for leadership positions. The project will help employers identify sector and community stakeholder platforms of engagement that will support awareness of the inclusive policies and actions taken or to be taken by the employers. It will also measure any short term progress made with stakeholders on updating policies and addressing bias norms and barriers, and include feedback from actions & activities of the project (surveys, committee reviews) within the broad spectrum of participating industries and communities The additional funding will support the project’s potential and accommodate registrants for the Stakeholders Development Committee Summit; hire an additional project assistant, engage three more key Advisory Board members; and pay for additional software, bookkeeping and financial audit costs to achieve the project objectives.

Description (French)
Ce projet d’une durée de 30 mois soutiendra une réponse et une relance féministes à la suite des répercussions actuelles de la COVID-19, grâce à un changement systémique. Women in Leadership atteindra cet objectif en identifiant et en abordant les normes et attitudes sexistes persistantes et néfastes. À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à éliminer les obstacles systémiques en accroissant la participation et les possibilités des femmes sur le marché du travail en travaillant avec les employeurs pour créer et modifier des politiques et des procédures, et pour lutter contre les préjugés sexistes afin de soutenir un nombre accru de femmes postulant à des postes de direction et de décision, pour soutenir l’égalité des femmes. Ce projet réunira des employeurs et des intervenants afin d’identifier les normes sexistes dans leurs pratiques et politiques d’embauche et pour comprendre comment construire un cadre de RH inclusif pour aider davantage de femmes à postuler et à être considérées pour des postes de direction. Le projet aidera les employeurs à déterminer les plateformes de mobilisation des intervenants du secteur et de la communauté qui soutiendront la sensibilisation aux politiques et mesures inclusives prises ou à prendre par les employeurs. Il mesurera également tous les progrès à court terme réalisés avec les intervenants sur la mise à jour des politiques et la lutte contre les normes préjudiciables et les obstacles, et inclura la rétroaction sur les mesures et les activités du projet (sondages, examens par des comités) au sein du large éventail d’industries et de communautés participantes. Le financement complémentaire permettra d’améliorer la capacité du projet et d’accueillir les personnes inscrites au sommet du comité de développement des parties prenantes; d’embaucher une assistante ou un assistant de projet supplémentaire, d’embaucher trois autres personnes clés pour devenir membres du conseil consultatif et de payer les coûts d’acquisition d’un autre logiciel, de la tenue de livres et de l’audit des états financiers afin d’atteindre les objectifs du projet.

Women and stakeholders have access to supports to address issues relating to equality between women and men.
