The Business Case for Membership
Getting gender equality and diversity right within the workplace is good for business, good for women and good for society.
Why join Opportunity Now
Opportunity Now is the only membership organisation representing employers who want to transform the workplace by ensuring inclusiveness for women. We work to build and communicate the business case for this, to share and inspire best practice and to give employers and their people the tools to drive change. We have a membership of around 350 employers from the UK’s largest organisations in the Private, Public and Education Sectors. We are part of Business in the Community and as such have a not for profit status.
We have three levels of membership, Core Membership, Associate Membership, and Corporate Champion Membership. Click on the links to find our more about the different types of membership and the benefits for you as an employer.
Please note: Opportunity Now is a membership organisation geared towards the needs of employers from the public and private sectors. We offer tailored, practical and pragmatic advice on workplace issues. Currently, all our services and products are designed specifically for employers of at least 100 colleagues and above and due to this we are regrettably unable to accept membership applications from employers with less than 100 employees.
Allison Seidlar, Director of Opportunity Now says "I firmly believe that workplace diversity creates competitive advantage There is no doubt that having more diversity within organisations helps avoid identikit thinking and encourages a dynamic mix of experience, perspectives, attitudes and approaches. Research has proved that mixed management groups are more effective than homogeneous ones in making strategic decisions, and delivering better and more innovative business results. However, there is currently a worrying leak in the talent pipeline which filters out many talented and high performing individuals en route to the corporate suite. I believe that increasing the number of women in leadership positions is not a ‘nice to do’, but something which can offer vital business advantage.”
