INSEAD Alumni Balance in Business Awards 2024

We are thrilled to announce the shortlisted companies for the INSEAD Alumni Balance in Business Awards 2024! 🏆These are companies across a wide range of sectors who are working towards improving gender balance – introducing new policies and bringing to life innovative initiatives.All these companies are different, but we’ve noticed some clear trends and lessons:
  • Accountability must be shared: more and more companies have initiatives to incentivise all layers of the organisation to build more equitable, inclusive teams.
  • ‘What gets measured, gets managed’ – know your data, embed it into the company’s strategy, measure your resultsWhen recruiting, cast your net wide.
  • Inclusive leadership training for senior leaders is critical to help improve understanding of the challenges to inclusion and gender equity and become active agents for change.
  • The importance of agile working policies – for example, not only flexible parental leave programmes but also parental transition coaching, return to work adjustment days, and networking events for parents
We’re inspired by the openness of these companies in sharing their journey and experiences. It’s a testament to their belief in the power of collaboration and collective action to ensure a fairer business landscape.Watch this space for news on the winners and much more!
