Welcome to #EQmeter.

Why bother with a gender equal workplace?

Earn more money

Increase ROI up to 26%

Companies with a more diverse board of directors outperformed others on Return on Sales as well as Return on Invested Capital by 16 and 26%.

Increase GDP by 12%

A Free Trade Area between Europe and the USA would increase economic growth by 0,5% while a gender equal labour market would increase the EU GDP by 12%.

Be more innovative

Get more out of your employees

Employees who feel included are much more productive, more loyal, trustworthy, their performance is higher and they work harder.

Better at solving problems

When a workplace has a critical mass of at least 30% women, the team will become more innovative and better at solving problems.

Make your talents stay

Employees feel included

Creating a workplace where employees feel included is directly connected to worker retention and growth.

People stick with work cultures they like

One study found applicants who were a cultural fit would accept a 7% lower salary, and departments with cultural alignment had 30% less employee turnover.
