Gender Equality Assessment, Results, and Strategies – Analysis and Learning

This video presentation disseminates valuable insights gained from using the Gender Equality Assessment, Results, and Strategies (GEARS) tool in companies in Southeast Asia. It discusses how the assessment tool can support and encourage firms — whatever size, industry, or level of advancement, in adopting an evidence-based approach to comprehending their current workplace gender equality (WGE) standing.

Drawing from the experience of over 94 Southeast Asian organisations, this video presentation demonstrates how GEARS can highlight companies’ strengths and areas for improvement in empowering organisations to develop action plans that drive meaningful transformation.

GEARS was developed in 2019 by Investing in Women (IW) in collaboration with the Workplace Gender Equality Agency of Australia. It was launched in 2020 as the first WGE assessment tool designed specifically for the ASEAN market, and since then has been a core service offering of Business Coalitions in Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Vietnam.

This video was presented at the Business Coalition Regional Event: “The State of WGE in the Region,” on 13 March 2024; hosted by the Indonesia Business Coalition for Women Empowerment, Business Coalition for Gender Equality in Myanmar, and Philippine Business Coalition for Women Empowerment, supported by IW.
