Workforce Gender Diversity Data Methodology

From MSCI. Attraction, retention, and promotion are the core elements of the employment cycle and key focus areas for any company looking to increase its effective utilisation of talent. While there are many ways that companies can support women’s participation and advancement in the workforce, the simplest and most straightforward measure of their effectiveness is to look at the percentage of women among various segments of the company’s workforce. In order to identify companies whose performance exceeds sector peers, we have developed a workforce gender diversity scoring methodology that allows for multiple possible metric inputs (based on disclosures).
