International Women’s Day 2023

Improving the working experience of women in the education sector.

Research shows that bias makes it harder for women to get hired and 14% less likely to be promoted*, which negatively impacts their day-to-day work experiences. Strictly Education actively chooses to challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions, improve situations and celebrate women's achievements through our HR services which have been designed specifically for the education sector.

On Strictly Education’s Human Resources website - Education HR Online – you are able to find information aiming to improve HR processes in schools and how to create an environment where women remain committed and feel supported and safe in organizations that prioritize gender equity.

Education HR Online provides guidance in the context of:

• Gender pay gap
• Pay equity and appraisal
• Fair recruitment process
• Mental health support at the various stages of working life including menopause
• Parental leave and flexible scheduling

For schools interested in finding out how to ensure the provision of equal opportunities and support diversity and inclusion, get in touch with the Strictly Education team for a no-obligation discussion.
