Gender Equality Plan 2023 – 2025

This detailed, future-focused and ambitious plan showcases our commitment to gender equality across the organisation, now and into the future. This action plan seeks to both acknowledge progress to date and to recognise and chart a roadmap to achieve further improvement.
It focuses on economic power, trying to make changes in the representation of women in senior positions, equal opportunities to have a job in the company or trying to make the workplace a space without violence and sexual assault.
In fact, they value:
1. DIVERSITY DATA: Establish a baseline for Enterprise Ireland’s gender equality data and
understand our diversity profile which will allow us to develop tailored gender equality solutions and make informed decisions.
2. INCLUSIVE LEADERSHIP: Embed inclusive leadership principles to our structure and culture and recognise and lean into our role as an influencer of Irish enterprise exemplifying the behaviours that will drive positive change. Ensure organisational policies on sexual harassment and other forms of gender-based violence are developed, supported and implemented.
3. RECRUITMENT & OPPORTUNITY: Review and continually improve our recruitment practices to ensure fair and balanced opportunities for all, understanding the barriers within our processes and ensuring the language in our recruitment adverts appeals to all genders.
4. LEARNING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Support continuous professional development and offer a wide range of learning and development opportunities including our online learning platform, professional business qualifications programme, networking and mentoring, and bespoke leadership development programmes. On a wider basis, provide training, capacity building and awareness related to all factors of ED&I for all levels across the organisation.
5. STRUCTURES & CULTURE: We have, and are committed to, introducing smarter work practices to enable a more flexible and sustainable performance based working culture that will foster a diverse talent pool. We are working to continuously enhance our policies and practices to ensure that all our employees are aware of and understand how to access them.

Why it's a good practice: It focuses on economic power, trying to make changes in the representation of women in senior positions, equal opportunities to have a job in the company or trying to make the workplace a space without violence and sexual assault.
