title:

Within Outcome 2, and aligned with the results of the exercise described in Recommendation 1, focus efforts and resources on consolidating support for implementation and monitoring of gender-sensitive practices in the private sector. In this area, consider the following strategies: a. Work with existing WEPs signatory companies and other interested companies and employers’ organizations on effective ways to help them transform the Principles into practice and connect with others doing the same. b. Build on existing efforts to work more intensively with “pilot” companies, ensuring that these experiences are captured and shared, through effective communications, with other interested companies and with ILO counterpart employers’ organizations who are in a position to multiply impact. c. In relation outreach and going work with WEPs signatories and other companies – particularly large companies, focus efforts to get beyond corporate contacts in areas such as human resources (for example, “diversity and inclusion managers”), sustainability, and procurement to reach a wider audience of men and higher-level decision-makers. d. Continue to adapt tools and approaches to the needs of smaller companies and to the differing national contexts. e. Consolidate and disseminate a practical package of tools and guidance, including guidance on indicators and monitoring of WEPs implementation, ideally making this available via the online hub described in Recommendation 8. f. Continue to prioritize cooperation and synergy in this work with other related initiatives associated with non-Win-Win partners, identifying and capitalizing on opportunities to participate in joint events, share information, and promote other relevant approaches to private sector engagement, in keeping with analysis of the different context in each country.
