Step 1: Declaration of Commitment
The first step is for the CEO (or equivalent) of an organization to sign the Accord. This is a public commitment to promote the values of diversity, equality, and inclusion and to increase the representation of women in your organization.

Step 2:  Implementation and Action
EHRC provides a flexible guide to help an organization complete an initial self-assessment and identify 3 priority areas for action. Organizations develop relevant metrics and collect evidence to track progress towards their gender diversity goals.

Step 3: Review
At the two-year mark, another self-assessment is completed to determine progress and re-align strategic plans if needed. A good time to stand back and see if you have moved the needle on gender diversity.
