Our approach
In order to achieve gender equality, we believe that it is vital to work with women and men, inspiring them all to be part of the change we want to see. Many of our platforms start out by gaining a deeper understanding of what the women, the men and the leadership team truly feel and experience.
Prior to working with the women, we will usually run a session with their direct managers to explain the process and also provide opportunities to consider their role as part of it.
In this video, Co-Founder of Shine, Caroline Whaley talks more about our overall approach at Shine, and the impact we see.
Shine For Women
The second step is to work exclusively with the senior women over two days which creates unrivalled opportunity to build an incredible network of like-minded people. This works on both an individual delegate basis (Open Shine) or as large-scale corporate events.
The workshop includes an element of collective leadership where we discuss the systemic change that needs to happen within the organisation to achieve gender balance.
In this video, our client WPP shares the impact of their award-winning Shine For Women platform (Walk the Talk).
Spice
The third step is to inspire the male population to be part of the discussion around systemic change and to decide on an action plan together with the senior women.
We measure results pre and post engagement, and will work with you to co-design with various Shine products under Shine For Women and Spice, that are the best fit to your culture and business.
