• Temporary special measures: meant to help accelerate the achievement of gender parity.
• Staff selection systems to increase the proportion of qualifies female candidates and eliminate hiring biases
• Exit interviews to provide insights into organizational barriers in the workplace
• Flexible work arrangements
• Expert group meeting to explore the latest research and policies developed on this topic
