FAQs
What does it cost?
We offer tailored packages based on your company size and goals. Typical entry-level packages range from £5k-£10k per year, which includes your profile page on our platform, endorsement badge, unlimited job postings on our job board, targeted employer branding campaigns, dedicated support, and more. We’ll work with you to create a package that aligns with your specific needs, ensuring you get the support and visibility you need to achieve your gender equity goals. We offer flexible month-to-month plans or cost-effective annual packages.
Isn’t this just another job board like SEEK or LinkedIn?
Not at all. We’re here to amplify the impact of your current recruitment efforts, including platforms like SEEK and LinkedIn, not replace them. In fact, employers who showcase their WORK180 endorsement badge on these platforms see a significant boost, reporting 10-25% more applications. We help you improve your workplace to be the type of environment women want to join and grow their careers in, while also helping you build and communicate your brand to attract the right candidates. This ultimately enhances the effectiveness of your recruitment across all platforms.
What kind of support will I get?
You’ll be partnered with a dedicated account manager who understands your goals and guides you from onboarding through to long-term success. You’ll also get access to tools, benchmarking reports, resources, and a structured action plan so you’re never left wondering what to do next.
Is WORK180 only for large companies?
While our services can certainly benefit larger organisations, we work with companies of all sizes — from smaller businesses to enterprise-level organisations. Whether you’re just starting your DEI journey or already making strides, we can tailor our support to meet your specific needs and goals.
What about men? Isn’t this just for women?
Not at all. More inclusive workplaces benefit everyone, including men. Gender equity initiatives often lead to improved culture, more flexible work options, and better leadership — all of which positively impact the entire organisation.
That said, we understand that rolling out gender equity strategies can sometimes cause concern — men may feel overlooked, or women may worry about being seen as “token hires.” Our expert team supports you in designing the right initiatives and, crucially, in implementing them in a way that brings everyone on the journey. We help your organisation clearly communicate the why, so everyone understands how these changes drive fairness, opportunity, and success for all.
How is WORK180 different from WGEA?
WGEA plays an important regulatory role, but we’re not here to collect compliance data — we’re here to drive real progress and visibility.
As a WORK180 Endorsed Employer, you receive a respected third-party endorsement, an endorsement badge you can use across all channels, and a premium profile on our platform. You’re showcased to a community of women actively looking for inclusive workplaces. We also help you evolve your workplace practices, elevate your employer brand, and demonstrate your commitment through ongoing support and expert guidance.
Can I track and measure progress?
Yes! You’ll have access to our Progress Hub, a central tool where you can track your DEI initiatives, measure outcomes, and monitor the impact of your efforts. You’ll also receive detailed reports and actionable insights to help you stay on course and make data-driven decisions. (Download our info pack to learn more about the Progress Hub and how it can support your goals.)
Why wouldn’t I just use my in-house team?
You absolutely can, and WORK180 will complement and support your existing efforts. We’re not a replacement, but an extension that gives your team access to a proven, time-saving framework, expert support, and the power of third-party endorsement.
We offer a holistic approach to creating a more inclusive workplace and amplifying it to the right audience. Rather than starting from scratch or relying on trial and error, you get tailored strategies, clear plans, and measurable progress. Plus, the endorsement and badge add credibility that’s hard to achieve alone. Many of our partners tell us we extend the impact of their in-house efforts and free up time to focus on the bigger picture.
Why use WORK180 instead of a DEI consultant?
WORK180 offers more than just DEI consulting — we’re a full-service partner dedicated to helping you achieve measurable, long-lasting progress. While consultants provide advice, we go further by helping you implement that advice with expert guidance, clear action plans, and proven frameworks.
Importantly, whilst we have consultancy within our offering, we are always happy to work collaboratively with consultants you may have already engaged.
In addition to expert support, you’ll receive a third-party endorsement from WORK180, which gives you the credibility and trust of our widely recognised Endorsed Employer badge. This badge and your detailed profile page on our platform help elevate your employer brand, making it clear to candidates that you’re committed to gender equity and inclusive practices.
You’ll also gain access to our engaged community of women seeking inclusive employers, with the ability to post unlimited jobs on our platform to attract the right talent. Together, we’ll help you build a strong, authentic employer brand that resonates with top candidates and supports your recruitment efforts.
