There has been more progress towards gender equality and pay equality in sport in the past decade than the prior century, but key barriers remain according to a landmark report released today by Champions of Change Coalition Sport Group.
One of the key focus areas of Champions of Change Coalition is to support Members in creating workplaces that are safe, inclusive, and respectful, aligning with contemporary expectations around behaviour and respect at work. With the introduction of positive duty legislation, the need for proactive strategies to prevent discrimination, harassment, and everyday disrespect in the workplace has become even more critical.
One of the key focus areas of the Champions of Change Coalition’s strategy is to support Members in creating gender-equal and diverse workforces that help them capture the performance advantage. The overwhelming experience of the Champions of Change Coalition is that when it comes to creating gender-equal workforces, accelerating more women into leadership positions through sponsorship matters.
