How can companies create conditions that allow highly qualified women to optimally contribute and develop their skills? How can career barriers be removed and professional paths and working time structures be made more flexible for both women and men?

The brochure "Key Factor R&D: Developing HR Strategies for the Future – Leveraging Women's Potential" provides answers developed during the EAF project of the same name, in cooperation with Bayer MaterialScience AG, BP Europa SE, and Henkel AG & Co. KGaA. Beyond the project results, the publication offers key recommendations for action on how companies can sustainably promote women in leadership positions and develop a long-term corporate culture in which the potential of both women and men is equally valued and utilized.

The "Key Factor R&D" project took place between 2009 and 2011. It was funded by the Ministry for Health, Emancipation, Care and Ageing of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The EAF Berlin study “From Elected to Threatened: Experiences of Female Members of the German Bundestag Regarding Violence against Women in Politics ” surveyed current and former members of the Bundestag and highlights how hate, incitement, and gender-based violence influence political work. It becomes clear that these attacks do not merely target individual female politicians; they endanger political participation and, consequently, democratic representation. The study was produced as part of the European project “3R—Recognize, Resist, Rise Up: Tackling Gender-Based Violence against Women in Politics.”

Sexismus am Arbeitsplatz

Die Studie liefert erstmals repräsentative, branchenübergreifende Daten zu Ausmaß, Erscheinungsformen und Folgen von Sexismus am Arbeitsplatz in Deutschland. Methodisch basiert sie auf einem Mixed-Methods-Ansatz, der quantitative Befragungsdaten mit qualitativen Tagebuchaufzeichnungen kombiniert. Durchgeführt wurde die Untersuchung von der EAF Berlin im Rahmen des vom Bundesministerium für Bildung, Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend geförderten Projekts Bündnis „Gemeinsam gegen Sexismus“. Berücksichtigt wurden dabei neben Frauen und Männern ausdrücklich auch trans, inter und nicht-binäre Personen. Auf Grundlage der Studienergebnisse wurden konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen abgeleitet, wie staatliche Verantwortung, rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen und betriebliche Praxis stärker miteinander verzahnt werden können.
