Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE)

Published purpose

Through this 33-month systemic change project, Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE) will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. Specifically, the project will address systemic barriers within the workplace by presenting model human resources policies encouraging flexible work hours to STEM employers in Ontario. The project will 1) undertake a literature review of workplace policies, survey OSPE members and meet with employers to understand their perspectives; 2) develop a Model for Flexible Work Policies and promote it with public and private sector employers; and 3) conduct and track advocacy on implementation of the Model with a range of stakeholders. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
