Advancing Women in the Workplace
At the Women’s Fund of Greater Fort Wayne, we believe that families and communities thrive when women are economically and physically secure, safe and healthy. That’s why, through research, education and collaboration, we’re committed to understanding—and overcoming—the challenges facing women and girls in our community.
To learn more about the state of employment of women in Allen County, we’re launching the annual Compass Survey. Through this confidential survey, employers will inform the development of the Employer Toolkit—a resource for employers that will help identify policies, procedures and best practices to attract and retain an engaged workforce.
To complete the survey, employers will need age and gender demographics for all employees, as well as knowledge of policies, practices and professional development opportunities established within the workplace. The survey will take approximately one hour to complete.
You may save your response and finish it at a later time if you cannot complete it in one sitting. The survey closes December 31, 2021.
