In 1999 the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions commissioned a research project to analyse the impact of human resource management at corporate level on equal opportunities in terms of gender using a case study approach. This report describes the operation of workplace gender equality strategies in seven countries of the European Union and assesses their impact on both employees and the organisation. It explains the reasons for the success or failure of these programs and makes recommendations for action designed to inform decision makers so that they may promote gender equality in the workplace. The report is structured as follows: chapters one and two provide the context for the project and the methodology; chapters three to six analyse the 21 case studies across four dimensions (the motives and influences affecting gender equality action; the content of equality action; the process for implementing equality action; and the outcome of equality action); chapters seven to nine draw conclusions and recommendations for policy makers and practitioners as a way of promoting progress; and chapter eight presents the overall conclusions of the research, including the critical elements required to achieve and sustain gender equality in the workplace and recommendations for policy makers and the social partners to further the development of gender equality in the workplace.
