4. Examine human resources policies and benefits across the organisation from a gender perspective.

Second stage – application of a gender perspective

2. Set up an initial baseline of the organisation’s performance on gender equality with a mechanism to measure progress once this process is complete.
3. Identify gaps in gender that need to be filled and set up an action plan and strategies to help do so.
4. Build understanding of what gender means for the organisation’s work and assess the ability of incorporating it into external campaigns.
