Susanne Moore presented on gender economics and diversity economics. She discussed how gender economics studies the impact of gender on the economy and economic decisions on gender. Diversity economics focuses on the organizational economics of diversity programs. Gender economics builds on diversity theories and recognizes the direct input of women to the economy. Moore argued that embracing diversity and gender economics can provide access to greater talent and reduce unconscious biases in hiring.

I have tried to highlight all the problems & hurdles regarding this problem and also suggested some ideas that can overcome all these problems.
In the last decade or so, I have progressively noticed, studied and discovered that diversity in groups/organisations/social systems and dealing with the complexity of it as well as channelizing its potential is one of the greatest challenges of our times.
My work over the years in he field shows that the emotional competence and skills to deal with this challenge is far behind intellectual and philosophical understanding of this reality. And what we often find are experiences of exclusion, marginalisation, disempowerment, underutilisation of potential of people and loss of productivity.
I am offering a new programme “Leveraging Diversity for Building powerful Organisations: Utilising People’s Fullest Potential’’.
This programme is specially designed to develop the capabilities for the same amongst mangers, leaders, Human Resource professionals and other critical people who can make a difference. It is planned to fill the gap between the reality, concepts, values and emotional readiness.

Gender equality interventions in project-based organisations – What works and what doesn’t? webinar

Content description:
Gender equality interventions and their effectiveness for project-based organisations; a literature review
Even though the number of women working in project-based professions is increasing, gender bias is still present and impacts women in various areas such as salary, access to jobs, promotions, and power. Different interventions are in place for addressing gender inequality and sexism in workplaces however, there is no systematic analysis of which intervention works and which does not.
In this webinar, the initial findings of an APM-funded research, led by Dr Sara Hajikazemi and Professor Giorgio Locatelli, on effectiveness of gender equality interventions in project-based organisations were presented. Using the CIMO logic and focusing on project organisations, they identified six different categories of interventions and explored their effectiveness. The audience shared their real-life experience with effectiveness of such measures in their workplace.

Role of media in Propagation of Gender Equality in School and Society and its...JohnToppo
Media in its various forms have become an integral part of our lives. The issues related to media, identity and gender are integral to the discipline of media and Gender studies. The reason is the popularity and diversity of media as a source of mass consumption and its influence on constructing ideas and generating debates.
These developments influence media projections and representations of various issues – gender representation is a major concern - what media portrays gets assimilated into the minds of the audience and influences them in various ways.
Media has the potential to play an active part in shaping and framing our perception of the world, and indeed in affecting the nature of that world.
it is the media which shapes our lives and perspectives. Society is influenced by media in so many ways.
It is the media for the masses that helps them to get information about a lot of things and also to form opinions and make judgments regarding various issues.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Editor's Notes
Gender is a range of characteristics of femininity and masculinity.[1] Depending on the context, the term may refer to such concepts as sex (i.e. the state of being male or female), social roles (as in gender roles) or gender identity.Sexologist John Money introduced the terminological distinction between biological sex and gender as a role in 1955. Before his work, it was uncommon to use the word "gender" to refer to anything but grammatical categories.[2][3] However, Money's meaning of the word did not become widespread until the 1970s, when feminist theory embraced the distinction between biological sex and the social construct of gender. Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender downloaded 05/12/12
A Solution For A Struggling Global Economy: Gender EqualityClinton: “By increasing women’s participation in the economy and enhancing their efficiency and productivity, we can have a dramatic impact on the competitiveness and growth of our economies.”The Economist found that the increase in employment of women in developed economies during the past decade contributed more to global growth than did China. In the U.S., a McKinsey study found that women went from holding 37% of all jobs to nearly 48% over the past 40 years, and that the productivity gains attributable to this modest increase in women’s share of the labor market now accounts for approximately 25% of U.S. GDP. That works out to over $3.5 trillion – more than the GDP of Germany and more than half the GDPs of China and Japan.Some stat’sYet the barriers to women’s full economic participation – laws, customs and practices that reinforce gender discrimination at multiple levels – remain. Women are over-represented at the bottom of the global economy and under-represented at the top. They constitute a majority of the world’s poor, more than 60% of the world’s hungry, hold less than 20 percent of the world’s land titles despite their dependence on and predominance in agriculture, and are much more likely to be illiterate and face gender-based violence. Among Fortune 500 companies, women hold only three percent of CEO positions and 15 percent of board seats.As a working mother and one of only 17 women in the U.S. Senate, Kirsten is part of a new generation of leaders with a unique understanding of the challenges facing American families and the critical need for economic growth and new jobs. Kirsten feels strongly that women are the key to economic recovery, which is why she started Off The Sidelines, an effort to urge more women to make their voices heard and get involved in all levels of public life.
Increased access to innovation and creativity - women as a ‘direct input to the economy’ rather than an ‘indirect input to the economy’ as mere consumers.

How to solve the world’s trickiest political problems?In Reframe, Eric Knight explains how a change of focus can reveal a solution that was lying just outside your frame of vision.

Women are over-represented at the bottom of the global economy and under-represented at the top. They constitute a majority of the world’s poor, more than 60% of the world’s hungry, hold less than 20 percent of the world’s land titles despite their dependence on and predominance in agriculture, and are much more likely to be illiterate and face gender-based violence. Among Fortune 500 companies, women hold only three percent of CEO positions and 15 percent of board seats.As a working mother and one of only 17 women in the U.S. Senate, Kirsten is part of a new generation of leaders with a unique understanding of the challenges facing American families and the critical need for economic growth and new jobs. Kirsten feels strongly that women are the key to economic recovery, which is why she started Off The Sidelines, an effort to urge more women to make their voices heard and get involved in all levels of public life.
Many forward thinking organisations are undertaking Diversity programs in a bid to attract and retain the right people and they must harvest a diverse talent pool to stay competitive.This talent pool includes women, ethnic groups, Gen Y and Gen X and the instigation of programs to tap into talent in the aging population. This study will focus directly on Gender Diversity Programs, which create an organisational culture where gender inequalities are minimized.

Meaning that some people can not be treated equality as their situation does not allow it. Ie; preferential treatment, people who want to work part time can’t have their output compared with a full time employee
A 2007 Catalyst (US) study found that when Fortune 500 companies were divided into quartiles based on the percentage of women on their boards, the top quartile companies outperformed the bottom quartile by 42 to 66% across a range of financial indicators.A recent McKinsey survey found that of companies that had made efforts to empower women in emerging markets, 34% reported increased profits, and another 38% said they expected to see profit as a direct result of those efforts.Women make up more than half the world population, yet are the most under represented in leadership positions.In a McKinsey survey, a third of executives reported increased profits as a result of investments in empowering women in emerging markets. The World Bank finds that eliminating discrimination against female workers and managers “could significantly increase productivity per worker by 25 to 40%.” Reducing barriers preventing women from working in certain sectors would lower “the productivity gap between male and female workers by a third to one half…across a range of countries.”Forbes
“Firms with at least one woman on their board outperform rivals with no women at the top table”“Overall, blue-chip organisations with at least one woman on the board have outperformed rivals without women at the top table by 26% over the last six years.”“Those with female directors outperform on share price, show a greater return on equity and tend to have less debt.”“The difference made by women has been especially notable during the financial crisis, with stocks with women on the board surging ahead of others."
