What does GESCP mean in CERTIFICATIONS & DIPLOMAS

The Gender Equality Seal Certification Programme (GESCP) was established as a global initiative designed to promote gender equal policies and practices within organizations worldwide. It is designed to measure and recognize organizations' efforts in achieving greater gender equality in their operations, workplace systems, products, services, communications and culture.

Any organization that wants to demonstrate its commitment to gender equality is eligible to apply for the GESCP. This includes businesses, nonprofits, governments, educational institutions and other entities around the world.

The primary goal of the GESCP is to create a positive impact on society by promoting gender equal policies and practices within industries around the world. It works by evaluating an organization's existing policy frameworks in detail and developing customized strategies tailored towards increasing overall levels of gender equality throughout all areas of operation.

Organizations must meet specific criteria outlined by the program in order to attain accreditation from GESCP. These include implementing systems that evaluate each area of their operations for barriers or gaps related to any form of discrimination or unequal opportunities based on sex or gender; ensuring equitable access for women when it comes to technological resources; developing effective communication strategies; establishing standards for creating a safe workplace environment; analyzing internal data related to employer-employee income parity; providing adequate employee training programs on diversity matters; encouraging leadership development opportunities among women; recognizing female talent; providing avenues for both genders when it comes potential professional career progression; committing resources towards research projects that focus on improving access amongst all genders across all sectors; investing in initiatives that support female entrepreneurs; and establishing accountability mechanisms through which actions can be monitored over time in order ensure compliance with fair practices.

Through certification from GESCP, organizations can become more aware than ever before of existing gaps between male/female actors at all levels, be it related directly with workplace dynamics or indirectly connected with access towards innovative technologies. By having greater insight into these issues allows companies/organisations better identify areas where improvement or adjustments may need taking place so as ensure no individual doesn't experience any form of discrimination due their sex or gender identity. Furthermore, this awareness allows companies/ organisations better appreciate how committing themselves creating greater diversity within several aspects such as hiring, learning opportunities, outcomes etc.. helps not only create more inclusive work environments but also drives long term productivity.
