Our How-To Guides support organisations to develop more robust, equitable gender-related policies and practices in the workplace. They bring together global best practice and evidence. The guides function as an overview of why these policies matter and offer recommendations for both leadership and staff. 

Every organisation – their staff, sector, context and experience – is unique. Organisations should develop their policies through rigorous, evidence-informed and consultative processes to ensure that they are effective and tailor-made, while increasing ownership and commitment among all staff, staff associations and unions, management and board members.

To review GH5050’s findings on your organisation, visit our Gender and Health Index. If your organisation was not included in the report, we encourage you to take the GH5050 Organisational Self-Assessment.
