Inclusive Change, Industry Impact

The Women of Today (WOT) is dedicated to empowering women to thrive in Renewable Energy careers while also devising innovative strategies to support organisations with their DE&I. 
 

WOT originated from the women at SK Energy who identified a gender gap in the Renewables sector, and an even bigger gap in in Senior Leadership roles. Leveraging our specialised industry knowledge, we were inspired to effect real change. 


Our commitment is to elevate 30 women to leadership positions by 2030. This initiative isn't limited to aiding mid-level professionals; we're here to address the gender gap in this rapidly expanding industry.

Our why

At WOT, our why is simple. We identified a gender gap in the Renewables sector, particularly in Senior Leadership roles and we decided we could move the needle with our industry expertise.

Despite progress in many sectors, the underrepresentation of women in Renewable Energy still remains a significant challenge.

Women make up only 32% of the Renewable Energy workforce, with only 16% sitting in decision making rooms. And in technical roles, this percentage drops even further, highlighting a critical gap.

How change can happen

Safe and inclusive environment

To provide a safe and inclusive environment, organisations can implement clear anti-discrimination policies, regular diversity training, open communication channels, promoting diversity in leadership, and fostering a culture of respect and acceptance.

Support for work-life balance

There are various ways organisations can support work-life balance, some of these include offering flexible work arrangements, such as telecommuting or flexible hours, providing parental leave and childcare support, encouraging employees to take regular breaks, promoting wellness programs, and respecting boundaries between work and personal time.

Non-gender bias hiring process

To create a non-gender biased hiring process, an organisation can implement blind recruitment techniques, where candidate names and genders are hidden during initial assessments, use gender-neutral language in job descriptions, ensure diverse hiring panels, offer unconscious bias training to hiring managers, and regularly review recruitment practices for fairness and inclusivity.

Promoting gender diversity

Promoting gender diversity involves creating initiatives such as mentorship programs for women, establishing clear pathways for career advancement regardless of gender, ensuring equal pay for equal work, implementing policies that support work-life balance, and actively recruiting and retaining diverse talent. Additionally, fostering a culture where diverse perspectives are valued and celebrated helps promote gender diversity across all levels of the organisation.
