Expanding women’s employment in the private sector is imperative to increase female labor force participation in Mashreq countries. This knowledge brief identifies lessons learned from the IFC-led business case studies on firms that devise and implement policies to improve gender diversity in the workplace under the Mashreq Gender Facility (MGF), enriched by a literature review. It proposes specific actions firms can take under four areas: (a) committing & communicating to gender diversity; (b) attracting female talent; (c) retaining women in the workforce; (d) promoting women to more senior positions.
