Why expert guidance matters
Good intentions don’t close gender gaps. Targeted action does.
Without expert guidance, it’s easy to fall into performative actions that don’t create lasting change. Many organisations invest in DEI initiatives that address symptoms rather than root causes — and end up frustrated by slow progress and poor data. Our advisors help you tackle the underlying issues, ensuring your processes, policies, culture, and leadership all align to create genuinely inclusive workplaces.
What makes WORK180’s advice different is the evidence base we bring: benchmarking data from 1.5 million women on what they actually want from employers, and performance data from hundreds of organisations. Your strategy is shaped by real evidence, not best guesses.
How an engagement works
1. Discovery
We understand your goals, current challenges, and where your organisation sits on its DEI journey
2. Focused sessions
Your advisor works through the specific challenge with you. No generic advice, no off-the-shelf frameworks
3. Practical outcomes
You leave with clear next steps, recommendations, or a revised plan you can act on immediately

Why WORK180
What makes our advisors different
There are plenty of DEI consultants. Here’s what you get when you work with the best.
01
Backed by data no other consultancy has
We benchmark your organisation against insights from 1.5 million women on what they actually want from employers, and performance data from hundreds of organisations. Your strategy is shaped by real evidence, not gut feel.
02
Practitioners who’ve led change inside organisations
Our advisors have worked inside organisations, not just consulted to them. They understand what it takes to get leadership buy-in, manage competing priorities, and drive progress without perfect conditions.
03
Remedies, not ridicule
We meet you where you are. No finger-pointing, no impractical idealism. Clear, actionable guidance that respects the reality of your organisation and the genuine complexity of workplace change.
04
An intersectional lens across all our work
WORK180 specialises in gender equity and ensures an intersectional lens across everything we do — accounting for the overlapping identities and experiences that shape how women experience your workplace.
05
Proven impact across sectors
We’ve supported organisations across engineering, government, financial services, technology, and more. Last year, WORK180’s advisory work contributed to more than 4,000 employee benefit improvements, positively impacting 260,000 women.
06
Practical outcomes, not reports that gather dust
Every engagement is designed to leave your team with something they can act on immediately — whether that’s a revised strategy, an action plan, a rewritten job ad, or clearer goals to take back to your leadership team.
