Future of Work and Women's Employment Project was initiated by the women employment and the gender equality working group in 2022 with the aim of determining the digitization-related competencies of the existing female talent pools of companies and creating a guideline for HR Departments. The project planning was made with our member KPMG. Surveys and Workshops were organized with our members, best practices of our members were included. The rate of our members participated in the project is 62,5%, according to the results of the member satisfaction survey it was also rated as best and most inclusive project of 2022. With reference to Sustainable Development Report 2021 data, Türkiye is struggling with great difficulties in terms of gender inequality. In this context, as BCSD Türkiye, we continue to work contributing to the studies in this area with the project we have developed for gender equality.
