Motto Gender Perception Survey™
The Motto Gender Perception Tool™ enables organisations to identify personal and group gender challenges for all staff, and then to create a culture and work environment that ensures they hire well, keep key talent of all genders, and empower men to assist in changing the culture to be more inclusive.
Businesses all around the world find that ticking boxes on a gender headcount is not enough, and not sustainable. Gender inclusion and diversity impacts company culture and its people through behaviour. If inclusive behaviours are prevalent within an organisation at the right scale, then impactful inclusion can be sustained indefinitely.
Diverse teams out-perform homogenic teams 2:1. That’s because diverse teams have a wealth of different ideas and perspectives that culminate in better innovation and better understanding of potential markets.
To support the worldwide move for gender mainstreaming, re-calibrating the gender balance in organisations and accelerating the participation of women (and other marginalised genders) in the workplace, Motto offers a Gender Perception Tool™, which identifies workplace gender inequalities and sustainability and maps out a route to overcoming these. With hard data as a backdrop, the Motto Gender Perception Tool™ offers a personalised change development plan for each participant.
Furthermore, the assessment and subsequent development processes will enable organisations to meet their employment equity targets, as individuals of all genders in the workforce will receive the necessary guidance and support as a direct outcome from the awareness created by the Tool.
Some background to the Survey
The Motto Gender Perception Tool™ consists of five surveys, one to be administered to women and another to men as a self-reflection tool to measure their perception of themselves, and the other two to be administered to men and women to measure their perceptions of each other as groups in the workplace. The responses to the group surveys are completely anonymous. In addition, Motto’s Non-Binary Self-Perception Tool™ can be used in cases where individuals identify as neither male or female.
After a comparative analysis of the women’s and men’s results, gaps in perceptions can be identified and subsequent key focus areas can be pinpointed. Furthermore, analysis of the results can be used to develop various change processes to empower all genders to ensure their best participation and contribution in the workforce, as well as to empower companies to retain and get the most out of not only male, but also key female and non-binary talent.
