Adopter Survey Results
In the fall of 2019, the Columbus Women’s Commission surveyed the Columbus Commitment Adopters to learn some of the policies & practices these companies have changed or created for gender equity. Additionally, we wanted to hear what areas the adopters felt successful and what topics they may need more support/resources on. We learned that there has been a lot of positive movement by Columbus employers toward gender equitable workplaces. Click here to see the results.
